Can I drive in Birmingham with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license from the United States, you may be required to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car.

Lastly, the 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 in many states in order 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 your trip to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When hiring a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your hire car. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
