Can I drive in Durham with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the United States, you may be required 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, note that you'll also need to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to hire the car must match the name on your driver's 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 must be at least 25 in many states to hire a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking state and local regulations, and with the car hire company before you travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. 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 off-road areas with your car hire. Please read the details before you book!
