If you don't have a driver's license issued in the U.S, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S., know that you'll also have to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification.

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in many states in order to hire a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the hired car company before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off the lot to 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 off-road areas with your hired vehicle. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
