Can I drive in Clear Lake with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license from the United States, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car.

Lastly, the credit card that was used to hire the car must also match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Other things you should know about hiring a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll 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 the hire car website before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When hiring a car in the U.S, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse off-road areas with your hired vehicle. Please read the details before you book!
