If you don't have a driver's 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, know that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card you used to hire the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Other things you should know about hire cars in the U.S. Are:

• Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states in order to hire a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the car hire company before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
• Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel 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 rough terrain with your hired car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
