  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When hiring a car in the United States, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse off-road areas with your car hire. Please read the regulations before you book!
