Chicago & Cincinnati, 8 Days

Passport & Visa

Prior to your journey to the USA, it is essential to ensure the validity of your passport for the entire duration of your stay. The majority of UK passport holders are required to obtain an Electronic System for Travel Authorisation (ESTA) to gain entry into the USA. Failure to provide evidence of a valid ESTA may result in denied boarding, delayed processing, or refusal of admission to the United States.

It is strongly recommended to submit ESTA applications no later than 72 hours before the planned travel date. Early application is encouraged to pre-empt any unforeseen complications. Please be mindful that an application fee of approximately $21 per person is associated with the ESTA process.

Travel Documents

Your travel documents will be provided no later than two weeks before your scheduled departure. The specific timing is contingent on various factors, such as the airline and accommodation type. If your itinerary includes a villa stay, details about your villa will be dispatched to you within 1 to 5 days preceding your arrival.

Car Hire

To rent a car, please ensure you have a valid UK driving licence (valid for at least one year). Provide this along with the original licence to your car hire provider. The lead driver must also possess a valid credit card for a security pre-authorisation, as cash deposits are not accepted. While some accept debit cards, it's advisable to carry a credit card, as many rental companies prefer this method.

When making your reservation, you have the option to add a satellite navigation (sat nav) system to your car rental. If you possess a UK sat nav, it is advisable to ensure that its maps are updated to cover the United States before your journey. Alternatively, should the need arise, you can consider purchasing a sat nav locally within the USA.

Included Activities and Optional Activities

Your itinerary encompasses both included and optional activities. Included activities are fixed into the price of the package and are non-refundable. Optional activities are recommendations that are not included in the package price. The decision to partake in these activities is at the discretion of the traveller, with associated costs being the responsibility of the individual.
