Can I drive in Hilo with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license issued in the U.S, you may be required to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the car hire process. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., know that you’ll also have to show your valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, your credit card used to hire the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Additional requirements for car hire in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 in many states in order to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the hired car company before you go to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you drive off to avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you typically can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with your hired vehicle. Please read the regulations before booking!
