Can I drive in Durham with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license issued in the United States, then you may 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 for you to drive in the U.S, note that you'll also need to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to hire the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Other things you should know about hired a car 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. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the hire car company before your trip to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you get behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your hired vehicle. Please read the details before you book!
