If you don't have a license from the United States, then you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring a car. If you find that an IDP is required, note that you'll also need to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to hire the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Additional requirements for car hire in the U.S. Are:

• Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states in order to hire a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the hire car company before you book to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
• Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off to avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your hire vehicle. Please read the regulations before booking!
