If you don't have a driver's license from the United States, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring a car.

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. Some additional requirements for hiring a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states in order to hire a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the car hire company before you book to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When hiring a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your car hire. Please read the details before booking!
