Yes - any credit card. Duchy was asking about using a debit card...

I know, what I was saying was that they were telling me to bring a credit card. I think that means they know I will be asked for one, and therefore I would assume there would be issues if I didn't have one (and only had a debit card).

I'm not sure if Duchy has a card but they have decided not to use abroad....might be necessary just for this one thing, but I think the only way to find out is to call the pickup location and ask how they will handle the situation where a hirer only has a debit card.

Ah sorry for misunderstanding you!

Yeah I think she was saying her partner just doesn't want to use his credit card abroad...but he may just have to!

You can turn right at a red light unless it says otherwise.

LOL I have driven in the US-I just don't like to so haven't done it in years. I have a slight left right confusion (probably mild dyspraxia as my son has that) and although I *can* drive there it does my head in as I have to really concentrate. My favourite was how weird it felt on the east coast going around one of their rare roundabouts the "wrong" way.

There's some amazing photos on FB (on one of the Myvegas chip sharing sites there's a load)

:eek::eek:

I must never go wherever these are. I still don't like the roundabouts going the right way here.

You should visit Hemel Hempstead one day.........

have done the magic roundabout in Swindon which appears similar. terrifyingly similar. Also Hanger Lane gyratory - but only once and at like 6am Saturday morning...but these all at least go the right way...add in going the opposite direction and there would be tears.

Regarding storms...If a rental car gets damaged during one, like flooded at the car park for example are we covered? I've rented through USrentacar with all the usual insurances. Thanks.
