  • Come prepared to keep the pick-up process smooth. You'll generally need your physical driver's license (not a screenshot or digital version) and a second photo ID. Also bring along a credit card with room for the security hold. If there's anything extra, it'll be listed in your booking.

  • Driving in the United States might take some adjustment for first-time visitors. Don't forget all vehicles travel on the right side of the road.
