Can I drive in Boston with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license issued in the U.S, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the car hire process. If you find that an IDP is required, be aware that you’ll also have to show your current 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 need to be 25 or older in many states in order to hire a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the car hire company before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your hired vehicle. Please read the details before booking!
