  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 in many states in order to hire a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the hired car company before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, you usually can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your car hire. Please read the regulations before booking!
