Important information about Palm Springs car rentals

When visiting sunny Palm Springs, make sure to check out some of the popular attractions, including the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, the Living Desert Zoo and Gardens, and Mount San Jacinto. Be on the lookout for Highway 10, as it is one of the major roads leading in and out of the city. The city’s downtown has plenty of free parking that you can use for your car rentals in Palm Springs, and there are also some metered spaces and paid parking garages that you can choose from. Reserving a vehicle in this city is easy, as there are more than 75 different car rental locations in Palm Springs.

Is it worthwhile renting a car while visiting Palm Springs?

With the many metered spaces, garages, and lots in the city, finding parking for car rentals in Palm Springs is an easy task. The city is known for being busy and having many visitors, so some popular roads tend to be traffic hotspots, such as Highways 10, 111, and 1118. To avoid being caught in a traffic jam, try not to drive rental cars in Fort Lauderdale on these roads during rush hour, which is generally in the early mornings and early evenings. To explore this city as easily as possible, a cheap car rental in Fort Lauderdale is a convenient option. It will give you the flexibility to visit the region on your own schedule without having to worry about navigating public transport. You will also be able to quickly go to places that are more removed from the city, like Joshua Tree National Park or Big Bear Lake.

What are some important driving laws to keep in mind while driving in Palm Springs?

When driving Palm Springs car rentals, it’s important to keep some local driving regulations in mind to be as safe as possible. If you are driving on the highway, keep in mind that the left-hand lane is typically reserved for cars to pass other drivers. Otherwise, it’s best to keep to the right-hand lane, unless it’s exit-only. You are allowed to make a right-hand turn at a red light unless a sign states otherwise, but make sure that you come to a complete stop before doing so. If you have any confusion or doubts about a traffic regulation, contact the Palm Springs department of motor vehicles to receive up-to-date information on the latest laws.

What driver’s license is required to rent a car in Palm Springs?

If you’re interested in car rentals in Palm Springs, whether it be a luxury car rental in Palm Springs or an economy car rental, you must have a valid government-issued driver’s license. Digital driver’s licenses are not accepted, and your license must have a photo on it. If you are from a country that is not the United States, you can either use an international driver’s license or a driver’s license from your home country accompanied by a passport. To rent a car, you must be at least 21 years old.
