Can I drive in Ithaca with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the United States, you may be required 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 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, your credit card used to hire the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Additional requirements for hire cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most states to be able 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 book to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you drive off to avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your hired car. Please read the details before you book!
