  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or go off-roading with a hired car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
