Car Class Recommendations

If you plan on exploring the city centres, a compact or standard size car might be the best choice due to their maneuverability and fuel efficiency. However, those venturing further afield or into the beautiful Indiana countryside might prefer a comfortable SUV. Remember, the driving side in the US is opposite to the UK, so an automatic car could provide an easier adjustment.

Driving in Indiana

Traffic Rules

Unlike in the United Kingdom, driving in the U.S. is on the right-hand side. You'll also need an International Driving Permit (IDP) along with your valid UK driving licence.

School Buses

Something unusual for UK drivers is the rule regarding school buses. It's against the law in Indiana to overtake a school bus that's loading or unloading children. Whether you’re travelling in the same direction or meeting the bus from the opposite direction, you must stop if the red lights are flashing – even on a more extensive highway.

From EVV, you're only a short drive away from exciting attractions in Evansville and beyond. Do check out:
