Additional requirements for hire cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in most states to be able to hire a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the company you're hiring from before you go to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When hiring a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your hire car. Please read the details before you book!
