If you don't have a driver's license issued in the United States, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required, be aware that you'll also have to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to hire the car must also match the name on your driver's 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'll need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the car hire company before your trip to understand all the terms and conditions.
• Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with your hire car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
