USA Car Hire
Driving is the easy way to get around the USA and Canada… the roads are well maintained and signposted, the petrol is cheap and the cars are modern, comfortable and air-conditioned, so exploring becomes a real pleasure. Alamo are our preferred Car Rental company in the USA and Canada – With over 200,000 vehicles in more than 360 locations throughout the USA and Canada, you can make car rental an integral part of your holiday without having to drive from coast to coast. That means, for example, you could pick up a car in Florida and tour the East Coast, dropping it off at Washington DC before flying to Vancouver, collecting another car to explore Inland British Columbia and the Rockies.
Driver Requirements
All drivers must be at least 21 years old and hold a valid licence and major credit card. Drivers aged 21-24 incur an additional charge which is payable locally (approx $25 + tax per driver per day). Only authorised drivers listed on the rental agreement are permitted to drive the cars. Each driver must be present when picking up the vehicle to show their valid driving licence. For Fully Inclusive and Rental Only packages, additional drivers are not included and must be paid for locally (approx $10 plus taxes per driver per day). The additional driver fee is waived in California.
Please note that it is now a legal requirement, when driving in Florida, for non US residents to have in their possession an International Driving Permit (IDP), in addition to a UK driving license (photograph and paper copy). The permit must be obtained prior to travel, from the Post Office, RAC or AA.
