If you don't possess a driver's license from the U.S, you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring a car. If you find that an IDP is required for you 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 forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card that was used to hire the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Other things you should know about hired 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 places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the company you're hiring from before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
• Driving limitations: Make sure you 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 usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your car hire. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
