Charles City is full of fun adventures, but don't limit yourself to just one place. Grab a set of wheels and hit the open road to discover what else awaits in the surrounding region. Here are some ideas:

• You'll find White House and loads of other amazing attractions in Washington. From Charles City, it's approximately 177 kilometres away.
• About 161 kilometres away, Alexandria is also a hit with wanderers. Allow time to take in George Washington Masonic National Memorial while you're in town. It's one of the reasons people love this city.
• Longwood Gardens is about 306 kilometres from Charles City and is one of the region's most scenic nature spots. Go for a walk around and enjoy the fresh air.

If you don't have a license issued in the U.S, you may be required to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required, be aware that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the car must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about renting a car in the U.S. Are:

• Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the company you're renting from before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
• Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with your rental car. Please read the regulations before you book!
