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 areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, and with the hire car company before you go to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When hiring a car in the U.S, you typically can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your car hire. Please read the details before you book!
