Can I drive in Washington with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license from the U.S, you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring a car.

Additional requirements for car hire 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 allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the company you’re hiring from before you go to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel 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 off-road areas with your hired car.
