Getting pulled over on a U.S. road can feel intimidating—especially on a first trip. This simple, respectful workflow keeps everyone safe and helps you resolve the stop quickly when you’re in a vehicle from Hola Car Rentals.
Safety first: where to stop
Turn on your signal, slow down, and pull as far right as safely possible. At night, turn on cabin lights and lower your windows. Keep your hands visible on the wheel until the officer approaches.
Documents you’ll likely need
Have your driver’s license, rental agreement, and proof of insurance ready. Avoid reaching into bags suddenly—tell the officer where the item is and ask before retrieving it.
What to say (and what not to)
Be concise and courteous. If you’re unsure of the violation, ask politely. If you started your trip at Austin Airport car rental or picked up in South Florida via Miami car hire, the same best practices apply everywhere: stay calm, follow instructions, and keep documents ready.
Tickets vs warnings
Officers may issue a written warning or a citation. If you receive paperwork, read it carefully for court or payment deadlines. Continuing to Las Vegas or California? Save directions to your return point at LAS rental car center or LAX car hire so the end of the trip doesn’t feel rushed.
After the stop
Note the agency name and badge number on the paperwork. If there’s a mistake (wrong plate or location), follow the appeal steps listed. For rental‑related questions, contact support with your reservation number and any documents you received.
Smart habits that prevent stops
- Obey posted speeds—limits change near schools, construction, and park entrances.
