  • Age restrictions: You’ll 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 local regulations, and with the hire car company before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you typically can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your hired vehicle. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
