To avoid any unpleasant surprises at the home desk, make sure you do your research.

If you don’t have a driver’s license from the United States, you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements 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, the credit card that was used to rent the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about renting a car in the U.S. Are:

• Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as the car rental website before you go to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
• Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse off-road areas with your rental car.
