Vermont car rentals

Getting a rental car in Vermont is a great idea. There are many benefits of having your own set of wheels when visiting Vermont. First, the area is large and the attractions far from each other. Only with a rental car can you hope to see most of the sights, plus, even the remotest of Vermont hidden gems are within reach. Secondly, a car rental gives you the flexibility to plan your trip as well as provides you with everyday conveniences, such as air conditioning, comfortable seating, and entertainment. Getting a Vermont rental car also saves you from the hassle of having to bring your luggage to every stop you make. Getting a Vermont rental car when visiting the region is definitely a no-brainer.

Before hitting the road in a Vermont rental car, there are a few things to keep in mind. In Vermont, speed limits are strictly enforced. Don’t go over 65 mph on rural freeways and 55 mph on urban freeways. If you’re on an undivided rural road, stick to 50 mph, and 55 mph if it’s divided. If you are driving in a residential zone, keep your rental car’s speed below 25 mph. Don’t text or call when driving unless you’re using a hands-free kit. Always yield to emergency vehicles with flashing lights, and if you’re approaching one from the rear, pull over to the side or slow down and move at least one lane over. Pedestrians have the right of way on crosswalks, even if the traffic light has already changed, so be patient and let them cross.

You need to be at least twenty one to get a rental car in Vermont. If you meet the age requirement, you’ll be required to present a valid driver’s license and credit card in your name before getting a rental car. Drivers below twenty five are considered young drivers by most rental agencies and will incur a young driver’s fee, charged daily. Moreover, as a young driver, you won’t have access to certain vehicle classes, including premium and full-size SUVs, cargo vans and minivans, signature vehicles, and luxury and exotic vehicles.
