  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states in order 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 go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your home. Please read the regulations before you book!
