Sometimes it’s all about the journey, which makes your car choice particularly important. If you’re about to embark on an amazing road trip around North America, a roomy SUV could be your perfect match. If you want the best possible deal and plan on sticking mostly to the city, an economy car is a wise pick. All you need to do is decide what’s going to be the best fit, throw your bags in the back seat, and clock up those miles.

You’ll be driving on the right side of the road in North America. Even though you may be comfortable with the traffic rules, it’s always smart to drive more cautiously in a new destination.

More often than not, your chosen car rental company will charge the amount detailed on the fine to your credit card, including local taxes. Alternatively, they may provide your contact details to local law enforcement agencies, who’ll then issue a fine to your postal address.
