Peter and Jenni planned 90 days to explore America and complete the project, but they ran into a big roadblock: hiring even a compact car for that length of time would have cost them US$8,000(!!!).
Peter and his daughter Jenni, from Perth, Australia, just wrapped up an amazing visit to the US.
Jenni is a photojournalism student whose PhD project involved a 20-state photographic review of American life (how cool, right?!).
Peter and Jenni planned 90 days to explore America and complete the project, but they ran into a big roadblock: hiring even a compact car for that length of time would have cost them US$8,000(!!!).
Peter found a similar car for sale for $5,100, but he found it nearly impossible for a non-resident to register and insure a vehicle. And with only 90 days to explore, Peter and Jenni couldn’t afford to arrive and try to work out a solution.
So Peter and Jenni turned to visitor.us, and within 24 hours of arriving, they were on the road in their own car.
After an amazing 90-day tour of the States, they sold their car in Los Angeles for $4,400. Factoring in visitor.us’ fee and insurance premiums, Peter and Jenni’s transport costs added up to less than $2,000.
Peter and Jenni enjoyed their experience with visitor.us so much that they shot a short video for us. Have a watch and hear from them in their own words.
So if you’re planning a visit to the US, and would rather spend $2,000 on transportation than $8,000, like Peter and Jenni did, get in touch with us today!
If you're a tourist, a student, or on business, buying a car (or a van or an RV or a motorcycle) in America as an international visitor can be confusing. Buying, registering, and insuring a vehicle in America is not at all straightforward if you don't live here or have just moved. That's why we're putting together this series, called Fundamentals of Buying a Car in America, to help de-mystify the subject. This article focuses on the fundamental of ownership transfer.
