Just a legend, basically just stay away from dirty and disorderly places, and there are basically very few people on the streets at night. The Americans also often camp.

Try not to go out at night, American cities at night are terrifying to say the least

The downtown areas of major US cities basically become heaven for homeless people and miscellaneous people at night. The public security is really not as good as that in China. Don't run around randomly at night. If something happens, find the police, and they will criticize you for wandering around on the street at night. You have to drive out at night. Don't walk in the downtown area, otherwise you won't know how you died. Getting robbed and beaten is nothing unusual. I'm not scaring you. (from someone who has lived in the US for 5 years)

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

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. Only after strong demands did they change it. When I called home to inquire, it was still not in the same group of cars on their list. Is the United States more generous? ? 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

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

Not tailgating, don't speed, speeding fines are heavy, I saw the police officer's calculation basis for issuing tickets (unfortunately got caught), the starting price is $50, plus an additional $20 for every mile over the speed limit, simply put, if you speed by 10 miles, the fine is $250, this is the calculation basis for speeding by 16 miles or less, I don't know about 16 miles or more. However, American police are still very good, I was speeding by 9 miles, being polite, flattering, and only got fined $60. You can only pay the fine online after returning to China (three weeks after the ticket was issued), the ticket needs to be recognized by the court before the government can collect the fine, my friend said that on the day of the court hearing, if the police officer who issued the ticket does not show up (probability of 90%), the ticket will be invalid, there is a big gap in my feeling. A special reminder, American police are like ghosts, you never know when they will appear behind your car ? United States Q&A
