The sooner the better, especially if you go in high season. During the high season, we sometimes close access to new reservations, in order to guarantee the quality of service to our customers. Furthermore, it is better to plan ahead for the following reasons: - There is some work to share your travel documents that we will require of you, and this may take some time. - To benefit from our free call before the stay, it is necessary to book at least 1 week before departure (2 weeks minimum) in high season. - If you wish to benefit from your customer advantages with our partners (car rental, guided tour in French, etc.) it is important to do so in advance. Apart from that, technically speaking, we ask you to make a reservation no later than 48 hours before your departure, but in this case we will not be able to offer you the free call before your departure. Any Welcome West service reservation canceled up to 7 days before the date of arrival in the United States will be 100% refundable upon request.

We are committed to doing everything in our power to help you as soon as possible. We promise not to overbook our assistance in order to ensure the quality of service that we claim. And since we also promise full transparency, here are the few rules we work with. - If you are unable to reach us immediately by telephone during opening hours, we promise to get back to you within the hour at the latest. - If we need to prioritize by cause of a large number of requests, priority will be given to assistance requests vs concierge requests.

Unfortunately, this can happen in high season, when booking late. If so, that means we've reached the maximum customer quota for that date. This allows us to ensure our quality of service.However, you can book the service for the first available day after this date. Please note, this means, however, that the service will only take effect from this date, and not from your arrival.

Le coût de ce ESTA est de 14$ à payer en ligne. Bien que l'obtention est très rapide (parfois instantanée) le gouvernement américain recommande fortement de faire la demande au plus tard 72h avant votre départ. Sans ESTA votre embarquement ne sera pas accepté. Le ESTA peut être demandé direcement sur le site du gouvernement américain : https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/esta/application.html?execution=e2s1

In 2015, a year after leaving Belgium for San Francisco, I created a blog to share my discoveries, my many road trips, mainly in the west but not only. I called it Welcome West. I wanted to do more and come up with a unique concept. 4 years later, Welcome West, the travel assistance and concierge service was born.

Mise à jour 12/6/2022 Les résidents de l'Union Européenne peuvent depuis le 8/11/2021 se rendre aux Etats-Unis en vacances pour autant qu'ils soient totalement vaccinés depuis 14 jours au moins.

In the vast majority of cases, current cars use 87 Regular unleaded, which is equivalent to unleaded gasoline. If this is not the case, the rental company will probably have insisted on this point and you will most certainly also find a sticker at the level of the tank cap specifying the type of fuel to be used. There is little Diesel but it can happen, especially when the rented vehicle is a Van or an Asian SUV. If you have any doubts, contact us or contact your rental company.

Yes, we can make a reservation for you. We can also find and book a show or a restaurant, for example. Contact us and we will help you. This service is included in the concierge service.

If the GPS is a portable one and it does not work well, contact us or contact the rental company. More and more integrated navigation systems allow you to connect and use your smartphone's main navigation app (Google Maps, Waze, Apple Maps). If this is the case, you will need to connect your smartphone by cable via the car's USB socket. Please note, in this case the navigation will use your internet package (data). Otherwise we have created a mini didactic video to use Google Maps without having a network on your smartphone.

We will provide you with a mailing address if needed.

The resort fee (amenity fee or facility fee) is an additional cost calculated per day and per room and applied in all Casino hotels on the Las Vegas strip.Since then, it has spread and is becoming more common in hotels in large cities. Illegal in many countries it is not subject to any regulations in the USA.The hotels justify this by explaining that it is a single cost for the various services offered such as the swimming pool, the gym, Wifi...

Apart from a few quirky exceptions There are 5 bed sizes in American hotels. The most common are Queen Beds. The Single Twin: 0.99m x 1.91mThe Double Bed: 1.37m x 1.91mQuite common and it is this one that often brings great disappointment. It's a fake 2 people. It is sold by hotels as a bed for 2 people, but although the size will be perfect for 2 children, this bed will be narrow for 2 adults.The Queen Bed: 1.52m x 2.03mThe King Bed: 1.93m x 2.03mThe California King: 1.83m x 2.13mThis bed is a version suitable for very large sizes, it is a little less wide than the king but longer. Not very common in hotels, but maybe offered in larger hotels.

The rule is simple, the first to have marked the stop, is the one who has priority. Then everything is played by the look, you will see there is a game of looks between the conductors on each side.

Overtaking is done on the right as well as on the left. However, on 2-lane roads, it is customary for the slower vehicle to stay in the right lane, as in Europe, but this is not a requirement. Watch out for traffic lights! They are always in front of you on the other side of the crossroads. Stop before the crossroads when the traffic light is red!Turn right on red: If you are in the right lane, you are allowed to turn right on a red light if the lane is clear and there are no cars or pedestrians. Please note that you are therefore not a priority.

🚓🚑🚒 As a general rule, when an emergency vehicle with sirens on passes, everyone must stop and clear the way, including in the opposite direction!If the vehicle (Police, Ambulance, firefighters, special vehicles such as SWAT or Minesweepers, etc.) arrives behind you, immediately steer to the side to let the passage.Like a crossroads, everyone stops and gives way.You may have the opportunity to experience it, if the vehicle arrives in the opposite direction, as long as there is no material separation from the roadway which prevents you from crossing, a priori you should also stop . To be adapted according to the situation and according to the reaction of other motorists, but unlike our countries, no one will honk at you if you step aside for an emergency vehicle arriving in the area.And finally, it is forbidden to follow these vehicles with their sirens on at less than 150m.

Waiters and waitresses live mainly on tips. Their salary (usually per hour) is very low. The average tip is 15% of your total bill. 10% if the service was not good and 20% and more if the service was very good, it's up to you.
