If you don't have a driver's license from the United States, you might need to organise 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 for you to drive in the U.S, note that you'll also need to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the car must also match the name on your driver's 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 many states to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the company you're renting from before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
• Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse rough terrain with a rental car.
