I have an international driver's license, but I have never driven a car abroad. Will I be particularly unaccustomed to the steering wheel on the right side ?

Yes, mainly the awareness of road rights and the pressure of driving on the right side. It's no problem to be bold and quick to adapt.

The United States is also left-hand drive. I drove right-hand drive in New Zealand, and the highway was okay, but I was particularly unaccustomed to entering the city, especially when switching left and right turns.

Yes, all kinds of discomfort, the direction will involuntarily turn to the right, just like when you first learn to drive. It is common for the wipers to start randomly.

Driving in the US is similar to driving in China.

I'm picking up a Chrysler midsize MPV from Philadelphia Car Rental, and when I got there, there was a freshly waxed Toyota Sienna. So I asked the rental company to switch vehicles. Because the car was wet, I didn't check it carefully, and only after I drove off did I realize that there was a long scratch from top to bottom on the right side of the car. I wonder if there will be any problems when I return the car? Have any of your friends had similar problems ? 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
