Question 11

Accepted Answer

If you don't have a driver's license issued in the United States, you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S, know that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card you used to hire the vehicle must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Some additional requirements for hiring a car in the U.S. Are:

Age restrictions: You 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 rules and regulations, as well as the hire car website before you travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you drive off the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with a hire car. Please read the regulations before booking!
