- North America ↗Crossing between the US, Canada and Mexico by land needs your passport even on a day trip; rental cars need the company's written permission to cross, and most US and Canadian rental insurance stops at the Mexican border.
- North America ↗Cannabis is legal in Canada and in many US states, but taking any amount across the US, Canadian or Mexican border is a federal crime — including edibles and vapes.
- North America ↗The busiest US and Canadian national parks need timed-entry, campsite or lodge reservations in summer; release dates are months ahead.
- Bermuda ↗Bermuda sets its own entry rules as a British Overseas Territory; check official Bermuda government sources for your passport.
- Bermuda ↗Visitors cannot rent standard cars: plan around buses, ferries, taxis, scooters or small electric vehicles.
- Bermuda ↗Cannabis is illegal to possess in Bermuda, whatever the rules at home.
- Hamilton and the central parishes ↗Hamilton is the transfer point for buses and ferries; do not plan anything that needs a hire car.
- Hamilton ↗No standard car hire for visitors: build the trip on buses, ferries and taxis, and never plan a pickup by rental car.
- Hamilton ↗Beachwear is for the beach: cover up on Front Street, in shops and in restaurants.
