  • Always check if a collision damage waiver (CDW) is part of your Saint Paul car rental policy, whether with Sixt or a different supplier. Some companies offer it as a paid extra instead of including it.

  • Consider booking a one-way rental. You might be able to lock in a good deal if the provider needs to relocate some of its vehicles. Find the best available rates by clicking 'Return car to a different location.'

  • Cut down on fuel costs by choosing a vehicle that has a 'Fair fuel policy.' You collect your ride with a full tank and bring it back full, so you're only paying for what you use.

  • You'll need some documents when collecting your car. As a rule, bring your physical driver's license, a credit card with enough funds to cover the excess (most companies don't accept debit cards), and additional photo ID. Your booking will outline the exact requirements.

  • Driving in the United States may feel unfamiliar if it's your first time. Keep in mind traffic flows on the right side of the road.

  • Local speed limits can vary, but it's usually around 40kph in urban areas and 110kph or so on highways. Always go by the posted signs.

  • The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in the United States is 0.08%. Because alcohol doesn't affect all people equally, it's best to skip drinks entirely so you remain legal to drive.

  • Try to travel outside heavy traffic periods for a faster run in general. 5pm is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.

  • You'll be using the United States dollar (USD) here. In addition to your debit and credit cards, consider bringing some cash for smaller purchases.

  • English is the language that most people speak in this country.
