Can I drive in Ames with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license issued in the U.S, then you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car.

Lastly, the credit card used to hire the vehicle must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Some additional requirements for hiring a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in many states to hire a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. 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: Make sure you read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid any 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. Please read the details before booking!
