Can I drive in Cardiff-by-the-Sea with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license issued in the United States, you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S, note that you'll also need to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card used to hire the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Some additional requirements for hiring a car in the U.S. Are:
- Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states to hire a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the company you're hiring from before you book to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
- Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you get behind the wheel 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, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your hire car. Please read the details before booking!
