Can I drive in Bristol with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license from the United States, you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring a car. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S, be aware that you'll also have to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to hire the vehicle must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Some additional requirements for hiring a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll 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 rules and regulations, as well as with the hired car company before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your hired car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
