Conduct some research into what those charges could be before you collect the car.
Can I drive in Dayton with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license from the U.S, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. 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 current driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the vehicle 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 many states in order to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the car rental company before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse off-road areas with a rental car. Please read the regulations before booking!
