Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. A few other things to note to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it may still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before you drive away. You typically can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on off-road areas with your rental car.
