Print or email the online confirmation from CheapOair.com. This confirmation number from the car rental company is all that is needed, other than a valid driver's license and a major credit card. We do not recommend using debit-cards to pay for car rentals. Some car rental companies may also require a good driving record as a pre-requisite to rent a car, and they may check this at the time of rental, when the actual rental agreement is completed.
In the United States most car rental companies have a minimum rental age requirement of 25. There are exceptions but the renter must pay a surcharge fee. For corporate travelers, renting a car for business, you can enter a Corporate Discount (CDP) number at the time of booking and your clients may not be subject to this minimum age restriction, depending on the car rental company. In Europe, foreign driver's restrictions vary from country to country. Drivers need to be at least 18 in most countries and have a valid U.S. driver's license. Please check the official website of the rental company for the country your clients are traveling to. These sites generally have age restrictions posted there, as well as information regarding seat belt laws and speed limits.
It isn't required, but it can't hurt. It costs approximately $20 to purchase an International Driver's Permit (IDP), which is simply a translation of a valid U.S. driver's license. This document can prevent a lot of problems for clients driving abroad, especially if they are driving in a country where they don't speak the language, or in a non-tourist area. Per the U.S. State Department only two companies are allowed to issue IDPs. For details, see http://travel.state.gov/travel/tips/safety/safety_1179.html#permits.
Even the best-planned travel can be impacted by the unforeseen sickness,
medical emergency, delayed flights, lost passports or baggage delay,

cancel or interrupt your trip, lose your ticket investment, and incur

Some examples of covered reasons for trip cancellation/interruption
include illness, injury or death of you, a family member or traveling
companion; traffic accident en route to departure; a documented theft of
