Getting around the USA
America is huge, so flying is the quickest way to get around the country. It can be expensive though, so here are some other ways of getting around.
If you aren’t in a hurry, the best alternative is to go by car. You have to be at least 25 years old to rent a car in the States, and you need a valid driver’s license and a major credit card to do so. There are a lot of rental car companies, and their prices vary a lot. Compare companies before you decide which one to use and remember it can be cheaper to book for a week than for a day.
If you prefer to be driven rather than driving yourself, the next best way to travel is by bus. Greyhound is the major long-distance bus company, and it has routes through the USA and Canada. Tickets are much cheaper if you buy them seven days in advance, and there are often other offers. If you’re travelling with a friend, your companion gets 50% off if you buy the tickets three days before you travel, and children aged between two and 11 get a 40% discount.
An alternative to using the bus is to take the train. Amtrak is the American rail company, and it has long-distance lines connecting all of America’s biggest cities. It also runs buses from major stations to smaller towns and national parks. Fares vary depending on the type of train and the seat, but you need to reserve at least three days ahead to get a discount. Students with an International Student Card get 15% off the standard fare. Bring your own food, as the dining car is quite expensive.
