If you don't possess a driver's license from the U.S, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., note that you'll also need to show your current driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to hire the vehicle must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Some additional requirements for hiring a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states to hire a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the car hire company before you go to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off to avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your hire vehicle. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
