Top tips for hiring a car in New York State

  • Everything is iconic in New York, making the whole space a living, growing monument to the American dream. New York car hire companies open the door to inexpensive trips for tourists to enjoy some of the most beautiful sites that are relatively close, especially places like Watkins Glen State Park and South Hampton Beach; these are more easily accessible by road.
  • Individuals visiting New York from other states should keep in mind that traffic laws vary greatly. This includes speed limits and the consequences for violating them. Therefore, drivers should check the updated traffic laws to avoid traffic tickets. Additionally, children under the age of eight years must be restrained in an appropriate child safety seat. This system should meet the child’s size and weight specifications from the manufacturer. Children below two years old should be in a rear-facing car seat, while anyone above eight must wear a seatbelt.
  • Driving a hire car in New York can be easy due to the many parking garages around the town. The parking fees differ based on various factors, so drivers should do their research beforehand. Also, it’s vital to take note of signs and avoid parking in restricted areas, to prevent the vehicle from being towed or receiving a parking ticket.

Better still, car hire companies in the state offer a wide variety of options to suit travellers’ needs and budgets. This way, you can explore the state and the surrounding areas with ease and optimal convenience.

  • What is driving like in New York?

    The traffic laws require drivers to drive on the right-hand side of the road and pass other vehicles carefully on the left. One can be permitted to pass on the right only in necessary and safe circumstances. Drivers must follow the posted speed limits; if no limit is posted, you should drive no faster than 55 mph on highways and 30 mph in built-up areas. It is generally best to refer to road signs for the allowable speed in any given section. In addition, drivers travelling slower than 40 mph are advised to use their hazard lights. It is against the law to use a mobile device when driving in New York State, and there’s zero tolerance for drunk driving, so you should keep your BAC below 0.08%.

  • How old should you be to hire a car in New York?

    In New York, anyone over 18 years of age may hire a car as long as they present a valid driver’s licence and insurance. However, individuals between 18 and 24 years of age will likely need to pay an extra young driver fee, depending on the hiring company. As an Australian, you’ll only need your home driver’s licence and passport to hire a car in New York for up to three months from the date of entering the country. An International Driver’s Permit might be recommended if your licence is not in English or if you are planning to use the hire car for more than three months. Note that, when driving from New York to the neighbouring states, the licence requirement for a foreign visitor might change. To avoid challenges with the authorities, ensure you have an international driving permit alongside your valid driving licence. For your translation to be valid, it must include your official names as they appear on your identity card or passport, your date of birth, the category of cars you are qualified to drive and your foreign driver’s licence number.
