To escape any nasty surprises on pick-up, make sure you do your research.
Can I drive in Lake San Marcos with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license issued in the U.S, then you may need to organise 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 form of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to hire the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Other things you should know about hired a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the hired car company before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your hire vehicle. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
