If you don't have a license from the U.S, you may be required to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required, note that you'll also need to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms 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. Some additional requirements for 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 regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you book to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you leave the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse rough terrain with your home. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
