If you don't have a license issued in the United States, you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence 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 current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, your credit card used to hire the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Other things you should know about 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 allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, and with the hire car company before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
• Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When hiring a car in the United States, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with your hire car. Please read the regulations before booking!
