Additional requirements for car hire in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older 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 the car hire website before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel 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 hire vehicle. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
