Driving in Sacramento can be easy if you keep the city’s driving laws in mind. Driving is on the right while overtaking the left. You can overtake on the left if an open highway is marked for two or more travel lanes in your direction. If you approach a vehicle on a steep road where neither of you can pass, the vehicle facing downhill must yield to the vehicle going uphill. You can only make a left turn on a red light from a one-way street to another. All passengers onboard car rentals must have seatbelts on. Also, children less than eight years old and under 145cm should be tucked in child safety-appropriate seats. Avoid distracted and drunk driving. Also, ensure you carry your license with you at all times. Unless posted otherwise, the following are the statutory speed limits. In business and residential districts, the speed limit is 25 mph. On two-lane undivided highways, the speed limit is 55mph. On highways or interstates, the speed limit is 65-70mph.
Car rentals in Sacramento offer you various benefits. First, unlike public transport, car rentals are convenient and reliable. You can travel to your preferred destination without worrying about schedules and fare hikes. In addition, you can bring as many passengers and luggage as you wish. Car rentals are cost-effective as you only incur the rental and fuel prices. Public transport has extra hidden costs like commuting from the arrival station to your destination. Thye also has extra luggage fees and higher peak prices, especially during rush hour. They can also be hard to depend on during extreme weather conditions. However, you can avoid these costs with a car rental. In addition, Sacramento features various rental agencies with an impressive fleet of vehicles to meet your travel needs. If traveling with several passengers, you can rent a seven-seater carrier. If traveling with camping gear, you can hire a pick-up truck to accommodate your equipment. If you are traveling alone, you can go for a subcompact vehicle that is easy to navigate.
To rent a car in Sacramento, you must be at least 21. This is the legal age for most rental agencies, even though some rent out vehicles to 19-year-olds. In addition, you must have an unexpired government-issued driving license. The license must have a photograph of the renter. Most agencies do not accept digital licenses. Also, foreigners from countries outside the US and Canada may have to present a second form of identity. If their licenses are not in English, they should accompany them with IDPs. In addition, renters must have a valid form of payment like a credit card or debit card. However, some rental companies will limit your vehicle when using debit cards.
Car rental agencies such as Avis, Hertz, and Budget provide accessible vehicles to people with special needs or disabilities. Avis Cares Program provides vehicles with transfer boards for easy movement into or out of the vehicle from the wheelchair. They are also equipped with swivel seats, spinner knobs, and hand controls. Hertz has vehicles in their fleet equipped with hand controls and steering wheel spinner knobs. They also provide accessible parking areas in their car return and pick up locations. Enterprise provides vans with wheelchair-lifting devices. They also provide vehicles with adaptive driving devices, such as pedal extenders, left-foot accelerators, and hand controls.
Most car rental agencies require a valid government-issued driver’s license in your name. They also require a credit card for payment, with the names matching that on the driver’s license. For international travelers, you must show a valid driver’s license from your home country and valid documentation such as a valid passport. Travelers with a driver’s license not written in English require an additional international driving permit (IDP) for translation or a certified translation. Car rental agencies located at the airport accept debit cards as a form of payment, provided you present a return travel ticket. However, we advise against the use of debit cards as they are only acceptable during renting. Additional drivers must also be present during booking, and present a valid driver’s license and credit identification.
Several rental companies allow you to travel outside Sacramento into other cities or countries with their rental car. Avis and Budget have no restrictions and allow their vehicles to travel across all states in the U.S. and Canada. However, if you plan to drive into Canada with a rental vehicle, inform the rental counter during pick-up. This will allow the rental location to provide you with a copy of the Canadian Non-Resident Insurance Card, required for insurance purposes. You may also have the option to download the card at no additional cost. Depending on availability, one-way rentals to certain cities can be provided.
