Other things you should know about hiring a car 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 years. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the company you’re hiring from before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you typically can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with your car hire. Please read the regulations before booking!
