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

• Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states to hire a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as the car hire website before you book to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
• Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you get behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with a hire car.
