If you don’t possess a driver’s license issued in the U.S, then you may need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required, note that you’ll also need to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you get behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with your home vehicle. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
