Reply to comment by woodyrg14 in Me and my partner from England wanting to visit Connecticut by woodyrg14

This is a restaurant atop the sea wall in Stratford, CT to give you some idea.

More touristy places (e.g. Mystic) will cost a bit more.

I concur with everyone else. Connecticut is a fantastic place to live, but not much of a vacation destination for a young couple who have never been to the U.S.

If shoreline is what you’re after, you want to be on the Atlantic and not Long Island Sound.

You really need a car in CT, but you’re too young to rent one. (Last I knew you had to be 25.)

You can rent a car under 25- you just pay more in insurance.

Nice. It’s been a lot of years since I was 25, so I guess the rules have changed.

It’s more of an underage driver fee— OP will still want to purchase liability and CDW if they are not otherwise covered for rental cars in the US.

Possible to get this fee waived or discounted if they are part of an eligible group.

This Little Pup is attached to a cool little hotel too - Surfside - and there's another neat little place next door called Riley's by the Seawall. Fair warning, that's all there is for nightlife in the vicinity. A cool dive bar called the Windsock nearby the small airport.
