If you don’t possess a driver’s license issued in the United States, then you may need to get 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, note that you’ll also need to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

• Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 in many states to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking state and local regulations, and with the car rental company before you go to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
• Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you leave the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your car rental. Please read the regulations before you book!
