Any rental company you choose will require two things — a valid driver’s license and credit card. If you’d like to opt out of the provider’s insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it’s time to collect your car.

If you don’t possess a driver’s license from the United States, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring a car. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, note that you’ll also need to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card used to hire the vehicle must also match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Other things you should know about hired a car in the U.S. Are:

• Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states in order to hire a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the car hire website before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
• Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse rough terrain with your hired car. Please read the regulations before booking!
