Can I drive in Athens with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license from the United States, then you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the car hire process. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, be aware that you’ll also have to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to hire the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Additional requirements for hire cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 or older in many states in order to hire a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the car hire website before you book to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, you typically can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with a hired car. Please read the regulations before you book!
