Accepted Answer

You'll need to check the age policy of the Ellicott City rental suppliers you're considering. If you're under 25, be mindful that some will charge additional costs.

Question 12

Can I drive in Ellicott City with my current driver's license?

Accepted Answer

If you don't have a license issued in the U.S, then you may need 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 part of the requirements 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 also 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'll need to be 25 in many states to hire a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the car hire website before you travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When hiring a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with your hired car. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
