Question 12

Can I drive in Amherst with my current driver's license?

Accepted Answer

If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the U.S, you may be required to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence 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 driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to hire the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Other things you should know about hired cars in the U.S. Are:

Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in most states to be able 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 car hire company before you book to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your hired car. Please read the regulations before you book!
