Can I drive in Houston with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's 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 part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, 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 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. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as the car hire website before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When hiring a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with your hired car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
