Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some added requirements for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in most places to rent a car. If you're younger, it might 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 you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before you drive off the lot. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on off-road areas with your rental car.
