Be sure to understand the terms and conditions of your prospective hire company to escape extra costs at the rental desk.
Can I drive in Gatlinburg with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license from the U.S, you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the car hire process. If you find that an IDP is required, know that you'll also have to show your 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. Additional requirements for car hire in the U.S. Are:

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