Can I drive in Madison with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in the United States, you may be required to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the car hire process. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S, note that you'll also need to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to hire the vehicle must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Additional requirements for car hire 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 areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as the car hire website before you book to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your hire vehicle. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
