Question 12

Can I drive in Dublin with my current driver's license?

Accepted Answer

If you don't have a driver's license issued in the U.S, then you might 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 required for you to drive in the U.S., be aware that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. 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. Additional requirements for car hire 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 places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the car hire company before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your hired car. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
