With roughly three out of four Americans fully vaccinated against Covid-19 vaccines and hospitalizations relatively low, mask mandates have lifted in most places in the United States. Wearing face masks in public places is now optional in most situations. Only in a few cities around the country are face masks required.
The vast majority of companies in the airline and hotel sectors no longer require face masks, and most major rental car companies are now following suit. Keep in mind, even if a company doesn’t require face masks, you are welcome to wear one when picking up or dropping off a vehicle.
