If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the U.S, you may be required to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required, be aware that you'll also have to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to hire the car must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Other things you should know about hired cars in the U.S. Are:

• Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older 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, and with the car hire company before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
• Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When hiring a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your hire car. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
