Lastly, the credit card used to hire the car must match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Additional requirements for car hire in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in most states to be able to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as the car hire website before you go 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 U.S, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse off-road areas with your car hire. Please read the regulations before booking!
