What documents do I need to rent a car after arriving by train?
You'll need a valid driver's license, a credit card in the renter's name, and a government-issued ID or passport. International travelers may also need an International Driving Permit. Pack these in your carry-on, not in checked luggage, so they're available on arrival.
