USA: Driving for foreigners
Fly-drive deals are good value if you want to rent a car, though you can save up to sixty percent simply by booking in advance with a major firm. If you choose not to pay until you arrive, be sure you take a written confirmation of the price with you. Remember that it's safer not to drive just after a long transatlantic flight - and that most standard rental cars have automatic transmissions .UK nationals can drive in the US on a full UK driving license (International Driving Permits are not always regarded as sufficient). It's also easier and cheaper to book RVs in advance from Britain. Most travel agents who specialize in the US can arrange RV rental, and usually do it cheaper if you book a flight through them as well. A price of £400 for a five-berth van for two weeks is fairly typical.
