Niagara is full of surprises, but don't limit yourself to only one place. Pick up a set of wheels and hit the road to see what else awaits in the surrounding region. These are some great options:

• Make your way to Niagara Falls for an excellent sightseeing experience. Roughly 40 miles from Niagara, it's home to many amazing attractions like Horseshoe Falls.
• Why not see the best of Hamilton too? Unmissable tourist attractions in this happening city include African Lion Safari. Hamilton is approximately 35 miles from Niagara.
• Get into the outdoors and take in the serenity at Algonquin Provincial Park. You'll find it about 150 miles from Niagara.

If you don't have a driver's license issued in Canada, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence in order to rent a car. Also consider that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll need to show your current license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. Some added requirements to rent a car internationally are:

• Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, 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 available to rent.
• Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before getting behind the wheel. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental vehicle.
