If you don’t have a license from the United States, you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car in the U.S. 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 ID. Lastly, the credit card that was 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 hired a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 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 company you’re hiring from before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to 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 Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse off-road areas with your hired vehicle. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
