Can I drive in Austin with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in the United States, you may be required to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S, be aware that you'll also have to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card that was 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 must be at least 25 in most states to be able to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the hire car website before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your hired car. Please read the details before you book!
