Can I drive in Downtown Costa Mesa with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license from the United States, 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 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 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’ll need to be 25 or older in many states in order to hire a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the company you’re hiring from before your trip to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with a hired car. Please read the regulations before you book!
