The roads in the United States are good, and a regular sedan is enough.

Not necessary on the road, the road is very good. But if you have a lot of luggage, SUV is still convenient.

No need for a fancy car. A normal sedan is fine, but don't go for a microcar that looks a bit flimsy.

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

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 downside is that it is quite physically and mentally exhausting. After all, it's an unfamiliar environment, unfamiliar city, unfamiliar roads, and unfamiliar crowds. However, I think it's more challenging this way, and it tests one's abilities, judgment, and so on. When going out, traveling, safety comes first, no violations, no speeding. Travel in a civilized manner. It's all good wherever you go ? 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
