Tips for hiring a car in United States

Browse helpful tips for hiring a car in United States including age restrictions, car type suggestions and more. Tips were last updated on 19 March 2024.
  • If you're planning on taking your hire car across the border into Canada or Mexico, double-check what your car hire company allows. Most will allow their vehicles to be taken into Canada but some may not allow you to drive it in Mexico, or they may only allow it in certain areas of the country such as Tijuana. If you'll be crossing state borders within the USA, bear in mind that different states have different rules and regulations regarding car hire and some companies only allow cross-border travel to certain states. One-way car hire is usually possible between states but may not be possible between countries.
  • If you're travelling with children, make sure you know the child-seat regulations for each state you'll be visiting. Generally speaking, throughout the country children under the age of eight need to be in an appropriate child restraint or booster seat. Some states have more specific laws in place regarding the height and weight of the child and the type of seat they should use. For example, in Oregon children under the age of two should be in a rear-facing child restraint and then in a forward-facing restraint until they are 40 lbs (around 18 kg) or heavier.
  • There are a few road signs and signals in the USA that you may not be used to. For example, you may encounter four-way stop signs. At these intersections, cars from all directions must come to a stop before proceeding in the order they arrived. You may also see flashing red lights at some intersections. These should be treated as stop signs and you should come to a stop, check the way is clear and then proceed.

Car hire FAQs

Find answers to frequently asked questions about car hires in United States, including policies, requirements, and more. FAQs were last updated on 19 March 2024.
  • Should I hire a car in the USA?

    Hiring a car is one of the best ways to explore the USA. Many cities and towns in the country have better infrastructure for cars and parking than for public transport. If you are hoping to see as much of the country as possible, road-tripping is one of the best ways to do it. There are a number of well-known road trips, including Route 66 and the Pacific Coast Highway. National parks like Yosemite and the Grand Canyon are generally easier to reach via car instead of waiting for shuttle buses, especially if you're transporting a large amount of luggage.

  • What is driving like in the USA?

    Driving in the USA is generally similar to the rest of the world. One relatively unique rule is that throughout most of the country (with New York City being the most notable exception), you are allowed to turn right at a red light unless there is a sign stating otherwise. It's still important to come to a stop and check the way is clear beforehand. Toll roads are fairly common throughout the country, and most tolls can be paid with an electronic RFID tag affixed to your dashboard. Car hire companies can usually provide these, and you can usually choose to pay as you go or have the toll costs added to your overall hire cost.

  • How old do you have to be to hire a car in the USA?

    The minimum car hire age varies throughout the USA, depending on each state. However, even when the legal limit is younger, most major car hire companies require drivers to be at least 21 years old before hiring a car and some may require you to be at least 23 years old. If you’re under the age of 25, you’ll generally be subject to a young driver's surcharge and you may be offered a smaller range of vehicle types. If your licence isn't in English, it's a good idea to get an International Driving Permit before you arrive, as some companies may require one. Otherwise, you'll just need a full driving licence and a passport or other photo ID for extra identification.

  • Which car hire company is considered to be the best in United States?
