Some additional requirements for 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 places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, and with the car hire company before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you drive off the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with your car hire. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
