In the United States, if you find a problem with the car while driving, can you change it? I am not an expert on cars, so if there is no problem when picking up the car, can I change it halfway through the journey ?

When renting a car, you can only see the appearance and mileage. However, problems may occur when driving a rental car. For example, the first car I drove out of the parking lot was very noisy after driving less than a kilometer. It should be the sound of the wheel bearings. I couldn't accept it for long-distance driving, so I decisively went to change the car. In the United States, you can change the car when there is a problem with the car condition, so don't be embarrassed. After all, it's your own money. Also, if your economic conditions allow, it's best not to choose a car from Dollar. To be honest, apart from being cheap, Dollar is really average. The service attitude is average, a group of immigrant workers with low efficiency and a very arrogant attitude. It feels like they don't care if you borrow the car or not. The cars are okay. Since I drove for a month, I changed cars twice. The first two cars had problems, but changing the car was relatively convenient, and I finally got a satisfactory car in the end.

Thank you. But the car I got in Europe before was not my first choice. The cars in the same group were not let you choose. You got a car that seemed to be one level lower.

The return fee in the United States is really like robbery! I returned the car at the Los Angeles airport, and the gas station was less than 1km away from the return point. After topping up the gas, I received feedback today saying that the fuel level was not enough. How much do I need to fill up to be considered full? Does it need to overflow? Where can I read the fuel level? When returning a rental car, you need to be careful, as there are traps everywhere ? United States Q&A

I have heard many friends who have gone on Road trips in San Francisco and Los Angeles say that their cars were broken into and their luggage was stolen. In such a situation, should we first report to the police and then go to the car rental company to change the car? Is the car replacement free of charge? Does the theft and robbery insurance included when renting a car cover the loss, or do we need to purchase separate glass and tire insurance? We have driven in foreign countries many times before, but this is our first time in the United States, and we have never encountered a situation where our car was broken into. We are not sure how to handle it if it happens ? United States Q&A

Some so-called experts have not been caught and fined, so they are talking nonsense... Is it easy to drive in the United States? Please do not mislead the upcoming compatriots... This is a country of rules and self-discipline... Most roads depend on your own conscious speed and driving civilization... There are cameras everywhere, not just where you see them... If you don't see them, they don't exist, so don't have any lucky mentality... Safety comes first when traveling abroad, and courtesy comes first... Observe carefully... Otherwise, you will definitely pay an unnecessary price... Have fun and stay safe, that is the ultimate goal ? United States Q&A

I arrived at San Francisco Airport at 20:25 on the evening of the 24th local time. I need to adjust to the time difference and won't be picking up the car in the city until the 26th. I would like to ask a few questions: first, how long does it take to go through customs? Second, I will be taking a taxi from the airport to a hotel near Union Square with my five-year-old child. I heard that California requires a safety seat, but I'm not sure if there will be one in the taxi. Third, it would be even better if there's someone leaving San Francisco on the 26th to join me in driving on Highway 1 ? United States Q&A

I would like to drive to Yellowstone for 6 days in mid-June. On the first day, I plan to drive from Salt Lake City to Yellowstone, and I want to visit Grand Teton National Park on the way and stay outside Yellowstone at night. Question 1: Do you have any recommendations for hotels and restaurants outside Yellowstone? I have no preference for the taste. On the second day, I will enter Yellowstone National Park in the morning and drive for 5 days inside the park. Question 2: How should I plan the route to make it more suitable, hoping to visit all the attractions? Question 3: Can you recommend suitable hotels based on the route without too much backtracking? My budget is 500-1000 RMB per day, and I can accept 2000 RMB if necessary. Question 4: How can I solve the dining problem inside the park? Any recommended restaurants along the way? This is my first time traveling so far from home, so I have quite a few questions. I hope friends who have been there can help me. Thank you very much ? United States Q&A

The United States is very large, and every time you go somewhere it's different. This summer, I went to Yellowstone and chose an SUV, but I regretted it because the high center of gravity made it tilt heavily on the mountain roads... and all the roads were paved, so if you don't have a need for a lot of luggage, don't choose an SUV. Last year, I rented a BMW 4 Series to drive around the Grand Canyon area and it felt great. I stayed in Yellowstone for 5 days, 2 days at Old Faithful, 2 days at Canyon, and 1 day at Yellowstone Lake. The itinerary was not tight, so I just played around and drove all the roads in Yellowstone. Accommodation in Yellowstone is expensive, and the itinerary was not optimized, but the gas prices were cheaper than in the Bay Area. As for cash and credit cards, to be honest, I haven't used much cash in recent years. I only keep cash for tips. Throughout the trip, I only used cash once at a strange restaurant in Salt Lake City for one night, and also used cash to send postcards at the Yellowstone post office. Everything else was done with credit cards, including self-service gas and meals. It was surprising to find out at a gas station in Carson City that they explicitly did not accept VISA credit cards and had to use a MasterCard. I remembered trying credit cards at gas stations in Utah and San Diego last year, and this year's experience was really different, as many gas stations have upgraded ? United States Q&A
