SIXT Car Hire in the USA

With a wide choice of SIXT branches located across the country, including popular branches such as at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), Orlando International Airport (MCO), John F.

Thanks to flexible booking options and no hidden costs, you’ll enjoy a stress-free adventure in the USA.

Driving Tips for USA

Driving in the USA is different from the UK, so to make sure your journey goes seamlessly, ensure you keep the following driving tips in mind:

  • Cyclists: Cycling is a popular sport in the USA, so remain vigilant when driving. Slow your hire car down and wait to overtake until you can leave at least 1.5 metres between the bike and your vehicle.
  • State speed limits: You should remember that speed limits can change when you cross state borders. For instance, the top speed in Nevada is typically 80 mph (129 km/h) on rural interstates and 65 mph on urban interstates. Meanwhile, in Oregon, this is generally 75 mph and 55 mph respectively.
  • Crossing borders: With a SIXT USA hire car, you can cross into neighbouring countries, like Canada and Mexico. You must inform the branch of your intention to do so, as there is an additional fee.
  • Petrol stations: As states such as Alaska are so vast, ensure you have enough petrol in your car to travel to your destination or the next petrol station.

Best places to visit in USA

When you hire a car in the USA, you will be able to enjoy ultimate flexibility when exploring this great country:

  • The Big Apple and beyond: Drive your hire car in the USA through one of the most famous cities in the world and see the city from a new perspective. Afterwards, head up-state to the world-famous Niagara Falls. There are various paid parking options available, which makes it convenient to reach in your hire car.
  • Explore the Pacific Coast: Grab a one-way car hire and explore from San Francisco to Los Angeles.
  • Go beach-hopping in Florida: From Venice Beach to Miami Beach, which are about 3 hours and 40 minutes apart in your hire car, you can enjoy a road trip to some of the finest beaches the USA has to offer.

Good to know when renting in USA

Is it cheaper to rent a car for a week?

Yes, in general the longer you book your hire car for, the lower the daily rate becomes. So if you rent a car for a week rather than just a couple of days, you'll enjoy a lower daily rate.

How do I pay tolls in my rental car?

There are many toll roads in the US. If the area where you plan to travel has toll roads, consider adding Express Toll Unlimited to your rental to avoid having to wait in line at toll plazas.

How old do I have to be to hire a car in the USA?

The minimum age to hire a car in the USA is 21 - except for the state of New York, where the minimum age is 18. However, some specialty and larger car categories require renters to be 25 or older.

When booking online or on the SIXT app you'll be able to filter the available car categories by age. For drivers under the age of 25 a young driver fee may apply.

Yes, it's possible to pick up your hire car at one location in the USA and return it to another. If you're looking to do a road trip across America or along the West Coast then a one-way car hire is perfect. We have many branches on both coasts of the USA making this sort of trip possible.
