  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you book to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your home vehicle. Please read the regulations before booking!
