With car hire in Tennessee, you will be free to enjoy one of the most fascinating US states at your leisure. As a UK driver, the US vehicles will take a moment to adjust to. You will drive on the right-hand side of the road and the vehicle will probably be an automatic, as opposed to a manual transmission. If you are with your family in Tennessee, pick up age-appropriate car seats for any child under 7 years of age. Be mindful of the 0.08% blood alcohol limit, as the States has a zero-tolerance policy if caught over the limit. Keep off your phone when behind the wheel and hire a sat-nav as you prepare for the road trip of your life.
Driving your car hire in Tennessee will be the only way to truly capture the diversity of landscape and vast expanse of this landlocked Southern state. With many well-signed and smooth highways joining the main cities of Nashville, Knoxville, Memphis, Chatanooga, you will be able to enjoy seamless drives along toll-free highways, such as the Interstate 40. There are dozens of nature reserves and outstanding mountain parks, such as the Southern Appalachians, as well as the bustling country music scene and great cuisine that has made the state so famous.
When deciding which vehicle would best suit your Tennessee car hire needs, it will depend largely on your itinerary, as the state is quite varied in terrain. If you plan to spend more of your time in the mountains, then an SUV would suit you perfectly. They are always great for longer road trips too, as they provide excellent comfort. If remaining urban, the roads are in such good condition that an economy or intermediate car would do the trick to getting you around in the most fuel-saving way. If visiting in summer, ensure you book a vehicle with a working air conditioning, as Tennessee gets very hot.
When paying for your Tennessee car hire, you will be paying by card. Most agents do prefer a credit card, but the larger global companies sometimes allow for debit cards, depending on how large the branch is. If you are flying into Tennessee at one of the larger airports, you can probably pay with debit card at SIXT, Avis, and Hertz. Always check the terms and conditions beforehand. Cash and cheques will not be accepted.
