A current driver's license and a credit card in the same name are essentials. Don't want to take out the company's insurance plan? In that case, you may also require proof of other coverage. Rules can differ between rental suppliers, so have a thorough read of your policy.

Where can I find a Durham hire car if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver looking for a hire car in Durham, we recommend reading the terms and conditions of the various hire car companies you're interested in. Some may hire to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. Surcharges may apply if you're between 21 and 24 years old. To avoid any surprise fees and charges at the rental desk, make sure you do your research.
Can I drive in Durham with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the United States, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring a car. If you find that an IDP is required, be aware that you'll also have to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to hire the vehicle must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Other things you should know about hiring a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states to hire a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as the hire car website before you go to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to 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 Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse rough terrain with your car hire. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
