  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you leave the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to 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 you book!
