If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the United States, you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the car hire process. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, be aware that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to hire the car must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Other things you should know about hired 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 places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as the car hire website 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 to 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 hired vehicle. Please read the regulations before booking!
