A Brit driving in the USA.?
When I rent-a-car in the USA this year, and drive through Ohio, Pennsylvania, Washington and Massachusetts, will my European driving- licence card, plus appropriate insurance, bought through the car-hire company, be sufficient?
Do the laws related to driving differ greatly from State to State in the USA?
Thank you everyone for your informative answers....it's going to be difficult to choose a best answer!
Looking forward to the USA warm-welcome!
Take your driving licence, everything else like insurance will be sorted by the vehicle renter. Ensure you find out about collision damage waiver, so that you're not stung for damage to the rental car - most rental insurance is basic 3rd party only. Check whether unlimited or limited mileage. Generally state driving laws refer to how old you must be to drive in that state, general driving rules are similar. Buy a book like an American highway code if you can or get someone in the know to give you the lowdown - there are things you have to know about turning right on red, flashing greens, location of traffic lights, pre-warning lights before junctions and you will need a good map book for the areas you intend to visit - the road signs are not as easy to interpret as they are in UK!
Demand for US Ski Chalets Going Up and Up
Catered chalets, which Brits know and love, are still few and far between in the USA, but some Uk companies are beginning to take advantage of this gap in the market and are bringing more and more UK skiers to their US catered ski chalets.
Market research shows that 37% of UK skiers stay in catered chalets, more than any other type of accommodation. (Ski Club of Great Britain snow sports analysis). Whereas most Americans tend to stay in self-catered condominiums or full service hotels, the Brits seem to like harking back to the old days of old fashioned "house parties". They bring back memories of large houses, a group of friends spending an evening over dinner, while the servants cook, serve and clean up, without guests having to lift a finger.
These are hassle free - everything is done for you. Meals are prepared by a chef, so guests don't have to worry about buying food or having to cook dinner after a hectic day on the slopes, nor do they have to argue about which restaurant to go to with their group! Plus lift passes and ski school vouchers are ready for our guests when they arrive and ski rental equipment is fitted in the chalet, so guests don't have to hang around in local shops.
Colorado based Chalets USA have found demand for their US catered chalets increasing so rapidly they've opened a new one this year. They have had so many inquiries for them in Colorado and hate having to turn people away, so they decided to open a third catered chalet - Chalet Bluebell 3 in time for the 2007/8 ski season.
Chalet Bluebell 3 is located in the heart of Winter Park, Colorado, USA, which has the highest average snowfall of all the major Colorado resorts and the most consistent snow year after year. The resort opened on November 14 for the 2007/8 season.
So watch out - these are on the rise in the US and may gradually start to compete with the more well know condos and hotels. Maybe the Brits are onto a good thing and maybe we ought to give it a go - it's well know Americans love good service, so lets go all the way!
