Can I drive in Big Sur with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license issued in the United States, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country 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 driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to hire the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Other things you should know about hired cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in most states to be able to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as the car hire website before your trip to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or go off-roading with your hire car. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
