Top tips for hiring a car in Rhode Island

  • The driver and all passengers in the vehicle must wear seatbelts at all times when being transported. Any child below eight or shorter than 57 inches should be in a rear-facing safety seat or booster seat. Kids above eight can sit in the front row as long as they wear a seatbelt. The booster seat is for those between five and eight, and you can rent one from car rental locations in Rhode Island.
  • There are various modes of payment for your Rhode Island car rental. You can pay using credit or debit cards, and cash is sometimes accepted. Credit cards are the most common means of payment, and American Express, VISA, MasterCard, and Discover Network cards are accepted at most car rental locations in Rhode Island. You must be at least twenty five to make a payment with a debit card, and VISA and MasterCard logos are the ones primarily accepted at Rhode Island car rentals. Cash cannot be used to make a deposit but will be taken when clearing up any balances at the end of your rental period.
  • If you’re going to be on the road for a long time, it is advisable that you register one or more additional drivers. Additional drivers give you the chance to rest when fatigued, and in case of a fun night out, one can be the designated driver. Most car rental locations allow additional drivers to register as long as they meet the minimum age and driver’s license requirements. There’s also a daily fee for each extra driver, but if they are your domestic partner or spouse, they can register for free.

FAQs about hiring a car in Rhode Island

  • Should I hire a car in Rhode Island?

    There are many benefits that a rental car will give you as you traverse this region. First, you will save much time driving yourself compared to using the bus. Second, a rental car allows you to explore more and discover more. Yes, the public transport is adequate, but it will not get you to Rhode Island’s hidden gems like a rental could. Moreover, a rental car will allow you to enjoy the beautiful coastline as you drive along Route 1A and the beautiful 19th-century architecture along Ocean Drive in Newport. Finally, a rental car gives you comfort and convenience, something public transport wouldn’t.

  • What is driving like in Rhode Island?

    Before getting on Rhode Island roads with your rental car, there are a few tips you need to know. It would be best to stick to the speed limit in Rhode Island as it is strictly enforced. Stick to 20 mph within school zones and 25 mph within city limits. On general roads, expressways, and highways, you can keep the vehicle between 45 to 50 mph and up to 65 mph on the interstates. Always yield to pedestrians on the crosswalk as they have the right of way. Keep an eye on the many bicyclists and the bike lane; you can cross the bike lane when making a turn, but not stop on it as you prepare to make a turn. Parking is in plenty in Rhode Island, but don’t park within 8 feet of a fire hydrant, 20 feet of a crosswalk, 30 feet of a traffic signal, and 50 feet of a railway crossing.

  • How old do you have to be to hire a car in Rhode Island?

    Drivers have to be at least twenty one to be eligible to rent a car in Rhode Island. It is the minimum age requirement for most Rhode Island car rentals, but some rental agencies allow twenty year-olds. As you pick up your rental, you’ll be required to present a valid driver’s license and a credit card in your name. There’s also a young renter’s charge for drivers between twenty one and twenty four. Moreover, if you’re in this age bracket, you won’t have access to some vehicle classes, such as cargo and passenger van rentals, premium and full-size SUVs, and luxury and exotic models.
