The state of Georgia is much closer to the southern border with Mexico than the northern one with Canada. That said, cross-border travel is not impossible, but it does present a few hurdles. There are some basic documents required like proof of US citizenship or permanent residency for locals and a valid passport and visa for international renters. You’ll also need a good non-resident insurance plan even if you’re only after a cheap car rental in Marietta and these will vary according to the rental company in terms of options and fees.
