  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you slide 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 home vehicle. Please read the regulations before you book!
