Higher limits are in place for luxury and specialty vehicles.

If you’re a young driver hoping to rent a car in Durham, it’d be wise to check the policies of the holiday home companies you’re interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25 some may not. There may be surcharges if you’re between 21 and 24 years old. To escape any unwanted surprises at the holiday home desk, make sure you know what to expect.

If you don’t possess a driver’s license issued in the United States, you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required, know that you’ll also have to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

• Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the company you’re renting from before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
• Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you typically 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 booking!
