If you don't have a driver's license issued in the U.S, you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S., note that you'll also need to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, your credit card used to hire the vehicle must match the name on your 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 to hire a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, and with the car hire company before you book to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
• Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or go off-roading with a hire car. Please read the regulations before you book!
