The Top Transport Methods For Cruising In The USA
Many of the top roads in the world can be found in the States. Route 66 is probably the most famous road but there are many more like that all over. There are great roads covering the length and width of country so getting around on them is as easy as pie. But what is the best form of transport on youradventure holidays in America?
Camper van. In true back-packer fashion you can pick a cheap campervan at one end of the country and trek across the states in until you sell it at the other end. This method is ideal if you are travelling as a group as there will be plenty of room for everyone. Additionally, you don’t have to keep stopping for accommodation and food as you can carry those with you wherever you go
Convertible. There is no more iconic image that breezing along the straight long roads with the sun on your face and the wind through your hair. The convertible car is a vehicle that is synonymous with American transport and there is a massive choice of pick from. Personally I would go for an old Cadillac and would rent rather than buy one. This is what a lot of people do when they take fly drive holidays All you need now is a model girlfriend/boyfriend and some country and western on the radio to make your trip complete
Motorbike. Traveling around on two wheels is one way to put some fun into your trip, especially if you’re bike is big and the sun is out. This truly is the ultimate way to travel across the states and experience all that the American scenery and culture has to offer. If you’re not sure which bike to go for, then opt for a Harley. These bikes are sturdy as anything and demand respect on the roads. Rent shops are found across America. If you don’t want to spend you’re whole trip in the hospital, ride carefully and kit yourself out with some high quality safety gear, including a helmet
Fly Drive, Trains and Boating the States
Fly Drive USA
As much fun as holidays to America are; it is important to remember that each state is in fact like its own little country and has its own traffic laws.
Whilst driving is the most popular mode of transport and great deals on great car rentals (we hired a red mustang and drove through the Nevada Desert) can be found, please follow the below tips.
Tip #1 – Always ask your car agent if there are any special laws for drinving in the current state
Tip #2 – If driving through states, make sure you take a tour book for driving regulations.
Whatever you do, ALWAYS observe the speed limits in school zones (15 mph if lights are flashing) and ALWAYS stop if you are in front or behind of a school bus with flashing lights. Americans always ensure that their kids are safe and protected by traffic laws!
Rail Tours USA
If you are a fan of USA tours but don’t fancy driving the whole way across the states then USA rail tours are a must. Consider finding a little hotel on wheels and that will be your experience. Enjoy the stunning landscape of the US, whilst relaxing and resting being with serving staff attending to your culinary whims. Eat. Drink. Relax. Unwind and let the pleasure of the ride wash over you as tuck into a quality meal and enjoy fine American wine. Or, book yourself into an overnight cabin to be truly refreshed for arrival at your destination in the morning. If you would like to travel overnight, you can book cabins.
Cruising America
If you want to try cruising round the Caribbean or Alaska, then a trip from normally Florida, by luxury cruiser is a fantastic experience and oftentimes a great deal. If you are looking for some particularly dramatic and stunning scenery, and fantastic wildlife then a visit to Northern Canada and Alaska is a must.
