Start by checking the basic driving rules, speed limits and which side of the road people drive on. Look up common road signs and any local requirements, such as mandatory safety equipment. It also helps to read recent travel advice and plan your route in advance so you know what to expect on major roads. Always keep a GPS or offline map as backup.

Choose a car based on comfort, fuel efficiency and the type of terrain you expect to drive on. Economy cars work well for budget travel and most urban routes, while SUVs are better for longer distances or mixed road conditions. Hybrids are a good option if you want to reduce fuel costs. Pick a vehicle size that fits your luggage and the number of passengers.

Most travelers choose coverage that protects against damage, theft and third-party liability. Additional insurance like roadside assistance or a reduced deductible can offer extra peace of mind for long routes. Make sure the insurance is valid in all the areas you plan to visit, especially for cross-country road trips.

Mileage policies depend on the rental agreement. Some offer unlimited mileage, while others set a daily or total limit. Always check the terms before booking so you know whether long-distance driving is allowed. If there is a limit, confirm the cost of extra miles to avoid surprises.
