Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some additional requirements for international car rentals are:

  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before driving away. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your rental car.
