Money

Credit Cards are widely accepted throughout the USA and we recommend you take at least one with you. (Car rental companies will require an imprint for security). It is advisable to some money with you in the form of US Dollar Travellers cheques which are accepted as cash in most US outlets. And of course some cash always comes in handy for tolls and tips when you arrive.

It is NORMAL practice in the USA to tip for services. The usual level of tip given in bars and restaurants is 10%-15% of the bill and for porters it is $1 per item of luggage
