  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in many states to hire a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as the car hire website before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any 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 traverse off-road areas with your car hire. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
