Tourists from Poland can use their Polish drivers license for the duration of their visa stay in the United States. There is no obligation to hold passenger insurance. However each car must have insurance. Polish insurance companies do not provide insurance for the United States market.

Highly penalized fines for driving violations are not uncommon. Depending on the nature of the offense, as well as the state in which the offense is committed, the fine can range from $20 (for example, parking violation) to even a few hundred dollars. Be especially aware of the speed limits on motorways, near schools and in the zones where road work is underway.

Credit cards are popular as a means of payment. For security reasons, as well as convenience (hotel reservation, airline tickets, etc.) it is recommended that you move the card from a Polish bank to an American bank before moving to the United States. Renting a car without a credit card is quite difficult. The most popular and widely accepted cards are VISA, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. In case you lose a credit card card, you should immediately call the number given by the bank issuing the card in order to block it. To withdraw cash with a bank card is possible in the widely accessible network of ATMs (Automated Teller Machines) and requires a PIN (Personal Identification Number).

Florida has a very well developed system of motorways and complex infrastructure. Part of the highway is paid (such as the Florida Turnpike).  Therefore it is recommended that you have in your car a few dollars in coins.

Hotels in Florida are quite cheap. The average cost of accommodation in a motel is about forty to sixty dollars.

In large cities such as Miami, there is some risk of crime. This applies mainly to certain districts, and sometimes also the centers of cities. You should consult with local authorities about the saftey of an area before departing on foot, especially in the evening.

In public places you cannot consume alcohol outside a licensed establishment or even carry alcohol in packaged bottles or cans. Similarly, it is prohibited to carry open containers of alcohol in the car. Unlike in Poland, passangers in cars may not drink alcohol.  Smoking is prohibited in public places and bans are strictly observed.

In dealing with the police, you should strictly adhere to all their commands. Driving under the influence of alcohol is treated extremely seriously, and often the driver is immediately arrested.

In case of emergency, call 911 on the telephone.  This is equivelent to 112 in Europe.
