If you don't possess a driver's license from the U.S, you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required, be aware that you'll also have to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the car must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your home. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:
- Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you go to understand all the terms and conditions.
- Driving limitations: 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, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with a rental car. Please read the regulations before booking!
