If you don't have a driver's license from the U.S, 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 part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., note that you'll also need to show your current driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to hire the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Other things you should know about hire cars in the U.S. Are:

• Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in most states to be able to hire a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the company you're hiring from before you book to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
• Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your car hire. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
