Can I drive in Berkeley with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license issued in the U.S, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car. If you find that an IDP is required, note that you'll also need to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to hire the car must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Other things you should know about hiring a car in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in many states in order to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the company you're hiring from before you go to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your hired vehicle. Please read the regulations before you book!
