Peculiarities for UK Visitors

Driving on the Right

Unlike in the UK, you’ll be driving on the right side of the road in the USA. This might seem confusing at first, but you’ll adapt quickly!

Important Road Rules

The use of mobile phones while driving is prohibited. Always wear your seatbelt, it's the law! Consider also, Kentucky's laws for drink driving are stricter than in the UK.

Car Class Recommendations

If you are travelling with your family, we recommend a spacious SUV. For a more luxurious ride, try a premium car hire like an Audi or Mercedes. However, a compact car would be a wiser choice if you plan to navigate tight city streets.
