Lastly, your credit card used to hire the vehicle must match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your 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 state and local regulations, as well as with the company you’re hiring from before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you typically can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with your hired vehicle. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
