If you don't have a license issued in the United States, you may be required to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring a car.

Lastly, your credit card used to hire the car must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Other things you should know about hired a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in many states to hire a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the car hire company before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with a hire car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
