If you don’t possess a driver’s license from the U.S, then you may need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required, note that you’ll also need to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

• Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the car rental company before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
• Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your car rental.
