If you don't have a license issued in the United States, you may be required to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required, know that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Additional requirements for car rentals in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel 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, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with a rental car. Please read the regulations before you book!
