You’ll need to look into the age policy of the Birmingham rental suppliers you’re interested in. If you’re under the age of 25, some companies will charge extra costs.

Each rental car company has its own terms and conditions for young drivers, so it’s smart to do your research.
Can I drive in Birmingham with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license from the U.S, you might need to organise 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 forms 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 confirm your hire. Other things you should know about hired a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 or older 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 with the hired car company before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When hiring a car in the United States, you typically can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with a hire car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
