If you don’t have a driver’s license from the U.S, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. 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 forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. 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 areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you go to understand all the terms and conditions.
- Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your car rental. Please read the details before you book!
