Can I drive in Downtown Birmingham with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the U.S, then you may need to apply for 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, know that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, your credit card used to hire the car must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Additional requirements for hire cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states 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 go to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off 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 on ferries or traverse rough terrain with a hire car. Please read the regulations before you book!
