Lastly, the credit card that was used to hire the vehicle must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Additional requirements for hire cars in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states to hire a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, and with the car hire company before you go to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel 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, drive on ferries or go off-roading with a hire car. Please read the details before booking!
