Car rental in Panama City (USA)

Driving in the USA is a novelty for many UK visitors. First things first - remember that unlike in UK, you'll be driving on the right-hand side of the road. A key bit of advice is to get familiar with the state of Florida's specific traffic laws and regulations. Generally, speed limits vary with 70 mph on interstate highways, 55 mph on two-lane highways and 25-30 mph in residential districts. Don't forget that turning right on a red traffic signal is permitted unless there's a sign indicating otherwise.
