I think I may already know the answer to this question, but I thought I would address it in case anyone has actually experienced this first hand.

DH is from Canada, has a Canadian passport & a 10yr green card. We are flying in a couple of weeks to Seattle and driving six hours to visit his family for his sister's wedding. I assume he shows both of these at the Canadian & US borders when we're driving? The main issue lies here: with the rental car company, they have this policy in place:

If you’re a U.S resident, you may drive a Budget car into Canada. However, you must advise us upon vehicle pickup that you plan to drive to Canada so we may issue a Canadian Non-Resident Insurance Card. This applies to rentals of all U.S.-registered cars. If you’re a Canadian resident, Canadian Customs regulations prohibit you from entering Canada with a U.S. car. So renters with a Canadian driver’s license and a U.S. license plate won’t be allowed to cross the border into Canada. Customers with a Canadian driver’s license planning to cross the border into Canada should be provided with a vehicle with a Canadian license plate, if one is available.

Since he isn't a Canadian resident, does this still apply? My main concern is that at that time I will be 13 weeks pregnant and I'm afraid I will be exhausted after flying for eight hours. I'd also have to try to find a way to get the rental car company (Budget) to waive the fee for someone under 25, seeing as he'll be less than three months away from 25. That's a whole other can of worms, though (but if anyone has any tips on that, it would be greatly appreciated too!)

Why don't you just be the main person and sign for the car and drive it off? My husband and I usually do that, and then if we switch part way driving, no big deal. Point is we're both insured, so it's okay.
