Lastly, your credit card 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 or older in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the car rental company before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or go off-roading with a rental car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
