Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some additional requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or over 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 vehicles available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before driving away. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on off-road areas with a rental car.
