Can I drive in Carmel Valley with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license issued in the U.S, then you might need to apply for 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 valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card used to hire the vehicle must match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Other things you should know about hire cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states 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 company you’re hiring from before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off the lot 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 on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your car hire. Please read the regulations before booking!
