We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the company you’re renting from before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you leave the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with a rental car.
