Renting a car during Work and Travel Program provides a great advantage to students, especially in the travel part. Since the prices of cars and gasoline are also very affordable, the transportation problem disappears. If you are 3-4 people the cost per person will be very small. So how can we rent a car?
You will need a driver’s license and a credit card to be able to rent a car. After filling out a few forms, you can get your car. There may be a minimum age limit of 21 to rent a vehicle and you must have a debit or credit card. In the USA, it is legal to drive with your own license for up to 6 months. It is generally recommended to rent from companies known as reliable such as ‘’ Enterprise, Avis, Hertz..’’
The reason of this is that you can seek your rights in a situation that may happen to you. They will give you some paperwork that you need to sign before renting. These documents are the contract describing the conditions and insurance. Please read carefully before signing and keep a copy with you. In addition, if more that one person will use the car, it is possible to have insurance for as many people as this person. If there is an accident or traffic control while someone other than the insurer driving, you will have to pay large sums of money.
When taking delivery of the car, you should make sure that you have first aid supplies and emergency tires. Even if nothing happens to you, you may still face a situation such as being fined at the traffic control. Finally, before renting, please state this if you are going to go out of the city by car. Otherwise, different sanctions may be applied.
SAFE DRIVING 😊
