Can I drive in Dayton with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license issued in the U.S, then you may 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 part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., note that you’ll also need 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 vehicle must also match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Other things you should know about hired cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 in many states in order to hire a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the car hire company before you go 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 fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or go off-roading with a hire car. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
