If you don't have a license from the United States, then you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, be aware that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to hire the car must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Other things you should know about hire cars in the U.S. Are:

• Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in many states in order to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, and with the car hire company before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
• Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When hiring a car in the United States, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your hire car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
