Can I drive in Knoxville with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license from the U.S, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car. 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 forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card that was used to hire the vehicle must also match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Other things you should know about hiring a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 in most states to be able to hire a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the company you’re hiring from before you book to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you typically can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse off-road areas with a hire car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
