Can I drive in Dover with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license issued in the United States, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required, be aware that you’ll also have to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to hire the car must also match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Additional requirements for car hire in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states to hire a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the hired car company before you travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, you typically can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your car hire. Please read the regulations before booking!
