It depends on the rental company. Some companies let you drive a rental car abroad, often for an extra fee, while others don’t allow it at all.

If you plan to cross a border, check with the company before you travel. Driving abroad without permission could invalidate your insurance or break the terms of your rental agreement.

The most popular car isn’t always the best choice. Think about how many people you’re traveling with, how much luggage you’re bringing, and the kind of driving you’ll be doing before you book.

Where you pick up your car depends on the rental company. Some companies have a desk in the airport terminal. Others use a meet and greet service or run a free shuttle bus to the pickup location.
