Can I drive in Gainesville with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license issued in the U.S, you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the car hire process. 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 form of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to hire the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Some additional requirements for hiring a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states in order to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the hired car company before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, you typically can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with a hired car. Please read the details before you book!
