Can I drive in Durham with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a 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, note that you’ll also need to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to hire the vehicle must match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Other things you should know about hired a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 or older in many states to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as the car hire website before you go to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with your hire car. Please read the regulations before you book!
