If you don't have a driver's license from the United States, you may be required to organise 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, know that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to hire the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Additional requirements for car hire in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in many states 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 your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your hire car. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
