America is 00-heaven

As Bond comes to our screens again this week, Avis Rent A Car is offering great deals on US car hire and the Avis team have come up with their definitive guide to the greatest American Bond destinations.

Miami – the scene for the infamous Thunderball
Drive out to the Everglades National Park and enjoy bird watching and botany aplenty or head down to the Florida Keys to sample some of the sunshine state’s best beaches! Alternatively, try Miami MetroZoo with its 2,000 animals including tigers, elephants and giraffes.

New York – the opening for Live and Let Die
Once you’ve enjoyed what the city has to offer head just 90 miles out and you reach the picturesque Mashomack Preserve on Shelter Island, the 2,000 acre preserve offers something for everyone with woods, beaches and salt marshes. Or why not take a trip up to Niagra Falls and enjoy the exhilaration of the most famous waterfall in the world.

Los Angeles – setting for Moonraker
LA is a city that has to be explored by car - an Avis car! Drive up to Beverley Hills and admire the properties of the rich and famous, then head on over to Orange County for the fabulous beaches. Back in town don’t miss the Getty Center; this museum, conservation centre and art gallery is well worth a visit, as is the Grauman’s Chinese Theatre.

San Francisco – the scene for A View to a Kill
Enjoy driving across the magnificent Golden Gate Bridge. Once you leave the bridge behind you, the North California coast boasts incredible hillside highways with breathtaking sea views. A must-see is the village of Mendocino, rustic with great shopping and unrivalled dining. Or for those adventurers amongst you, try the Lost Coast and the volcanic peak of Mount Shasta - a favourite with climbers
