Other things you should know about rental cars 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 local regulations, as well as with the company you're renting from before your trip to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse rough terrain with your home vehicle. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
