Can I drive in Carpinteria with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the United States, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required, know that you'll also have to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card you used to hire the car must match the name on your 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 need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the hired car company before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When hiring a car in the United States, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with your hired car. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
