First time driving in the United States? This quick guide covers four-way stops, right on red, lane manners and parking basics so you can drive with confidence. With Hola Car Rentals — car rental, planning is simple and prices stay transparent.
Four-way stops
Come to a full stop; the first vehicle to stop goes first. If you arrive together, yield to the driver on your right. Make eye contact, roll forward smoothly and avoid hesitating in the middle of the intersection.
Right on red
Unless a sign prohibits it, you may turn right on a red light after a complete stop. Look for pedestrians and bikes in crosswalks, then turn when the way is clear. For UK and EU travelers comparing terminology, browse local car hire options.
Parking & signs
Read curb colors and posted time limits. Park fully within the lines, avoid bus stops and driveways, and keep valuables out of sight. If street parking looks complicated, choose a garage and save stress.
Pick-ups & returns
Confirm your fuel plan and the route out of the garage before you leave. Need space for five plus luggage? Check airport pick‑up choices early for vehicle class options. For returns, take quick photos and follow signs to the correct ramp; preview airport car park directions to save time.
