North-to-south travel is easy to navigate thanks to the four major interstates. However, when traveling to the east or west, you will encounter routes that are less direct. A rental car will help you out in this situation, as most have a GPS system for navigation. Enjoy smooth rides along the East Coast, as coastal driving has less traffic, with the exception of Boston. A rental car will come in handy if you’re visiting a small town, since most bus services are concentrated in the major cities. Train travel is relatively limited in the area, making car rental your best alternative.
Like all places in the United States, child safety seats are mandatory in New England for kids younger than four. Fifty-five mph and 65 mph are the maximum speed limits on highways and expressways, respectively. Speeding may incur fines as high as around $20 per mph over. In Connecticut, it is a crime to use a radar detector to escape police speed traps. The law states that all passengers must fasten their seatbelts at all times when the car is moving.
Car-rental companies in New England rent to people twenty five years and older. However, if you’re twenty one and do not have an accident or incident history, you may be able to rent a car for an extra charge. You must possess a valid driver's license from a state in the USA, Canada, or Mexico. For non-US drivers, you must have a valid driver's license from your country of origin. The license must be in English or you might need to have an International Driving Permit. If you have a permit but not a valid government-issued license, you aren’t guaranteed to be able to rent or drive a car in New England.
