Can I drive in Amherst with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in the United States, then you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring a car. If you find that an IDP is required, note that you'll also need to show your valid 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. Additional requirements for car hire in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states to hire a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the car hire company before your trip to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When hiring a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with your hire car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
