Yosemite National Park car hire

It is practical to get a Yosemite National Park car rental to facilitate your trip. The Yosemite National Park region is massive and traversing the area using the available public transport can be quite the hassle. Moreover, the strict schedule and rigidity of the public transport system take the fun out of the trip. But with a car rental, you can quickly get to various cities, save time, and enjoy dictating the path of your journey. If you are visiting the iconic national park for a camping, hiking, or kayaking trip, a rental car will allow you to easily access remote locations and bring as much gear as you prefer.

Before getting behind the wheel of a Yosemite National Park rental car, here are a few things you need to know. When driving a rental car in the Yosemite National Park region, maintain 65 to 70 mph for multilane freeways and 55 mph for two-lane highways. The speed limit is usually 35 mph in the city streets and 25 mph around school and residential areas. If you encounter a stationary emergency vehicle, change lanes if possible or slow down. Distracted driving is a serious offense, and you’re only allowed to use your cellphone if using a hands-free kit.

You need to be at least twenty one to be granted a Yosemite National Park car rental. Some rental agencies, such as Hertz, have a lower age requirement, and twenty one-year-olds can get car rentals from them. However, there is usually a daily surcharge for young drivers (drivers between twenty one and twenty four). Every renter is required to present a valid driver’s license and a credit card in their name to qualify for a car rental. You can also pay for your rental car using your debit card, but you need to be at least twenty five and might be required to undergo a creditworthiness check.
