Can I drive in Bay Area with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license from the U.S, you may be required to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car in the U.S. 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 that was used to hire the car must also match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Additional requirements for hire cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to hire a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local 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 get behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your hire car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
