Can I drive in Durham 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 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 forms of identification. Lastly, your credit card used to hire the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Other things you should know about hire cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in most states to be able to hire a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as the hire car website before your trip to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse off-road areas with a hired car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
