Need more information about driving and road signs in foreign countries where you rent cars? Use this section to find it!

The first thing you may notice when driving in a foreign country is that the roadway signs are different. In many countries, the speed limit is posted in kilometers, and warnings will be written in the country's native language. Sometimes, speed limits are not posted at all, and drivers will travel much faster than the driver is accustomed to traveling. Depending on what part of the world you are driving in, you may find that travelers drive on the left-hand side of the road and that the steering wheel is located on the right-hand side of the car.
