If you don't possess a driver's license from the United States, then you may need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring a car.

Lastly, the credit card you used to hire the vehicle must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Additional requirements for hire 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 areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the hire car website before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off 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 onto ferries or go off-roading with your hired vehicle. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
