If you don't have a driver's license issued in the U.S, 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 required, be aware that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card 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 must be at least 25 in many states to hire a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the car hire company before you go to understand all the terms and conditions.
• 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, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with a hire car. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
