Can I drive in Columbia 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 hiring a car. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S, note that you’ll also need to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card used to hire the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Other things you should know about hire cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states to hire a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, and with the car hire company before you book to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with a hired car. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
