If you don't have a driver's license from the U.S, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car.

Additional requirements for car rentals in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you go to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the United States, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse rough terrain with your car rental. Please read the regulations before booking!
