If you don't have a driver's license issued in the U.S, you may be required 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 part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., note that you'll also need to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card that was used to hire the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Other things you should know about hire cars in the U.S. Are:

• 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. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the company you're hiring from before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
• Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you drive off the lot 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 off-road areas with a hire car.
