  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with your car rental. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
