The road conditions in the United States are particularly good, and the quality of drivers is very good, which is completely incomparable to domestic ones. However, because the road conditions are so good, it is recommended to strictly abide by traffic rules, avoid speeding (because the police may not appear at any time), and strictly abide by parking time, because if you exceed the regulations, you will definitely be fined. And when refueling, be sure to compare prices at three different stations, because at a single intersection, there may be four different gas stations in the east, west, south, and north, and the prices are completely different...

When picking up the car, if it is self-service, you still need to have a basic understanding of English. Of course, you also need to communicate with the counter staff. If you don't understand English, it's better not to drive by yourself. It will be troublesome if there is a problem on the road. For example, if the car has a problem and needs to be replaced, you need to make a phone call to contact for a replacement. If you encounter a police check for speeding, you also need to communicate with the police, and so on.

Oh. But I'm afraid I may not have the Internet sometimes. Last time I rented a car in Europe, I was lucky and the car had a built-in navigation system that was really good. I'm afraid I won't be so lucky this time. I'll rent WI-FI at the airport before departure, but I'm also afraid it won't be very useful. Do you rent WI-FI or switch to phone cards ? United States Q&A

In late September 2016, I need to consult everyone about renting a car in the western United States. Dear experts, our group consists of 5 adults and 1 child, and we are planning to rent a car for a Road trip in the western United States in late September next year. We will arrive in Los Angeles, then transfer to Salt Lake City, and we want to rent a camper to go to Yellowstone National Park, and finally drive to Las Vegas to return the car. Which car rental company is more reliable? Is there a camper of this size available for rent? What is the minimum rental period? Thank you very much ? 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

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

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
