Can I drive in Berkeley with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license from the United States, you may be required to get 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, know that you’ll also have to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to hire the car must match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Other things you should know about hiring a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states in order to hire a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the car hire company before you book to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, you usually can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse off-road areas with a hire car. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
