You’ll generally have fewer car categories to pick from, such as economy and mid-size, and may also have to take out an all-inclusive insurance rate. Always enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to learn if any extra fees or restrictions apply.

Any home company you choose will require two things — your driver’s license and a credit card in your name.

If you don’t have a license from the U.S, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required, note that you’ll also need to show your valid driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was 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 need to be 25 or older in many states to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as the car rental website before your trip to understand all the terms and conditions.
• Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with a rental car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
