Lastly, the credit card used to rent the car 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 in order to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the company you’re renting from before you book to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or go off-roading with your car rental. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
