  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When hiring a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse off-road areas with a hired car. Please read the details before you book!
