It'd be good to read the terms and conditions of your prospective hire car dealer to avoid unnecessary costs at the hire desk.
Can I drive in Madison with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license from the United States, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, note that you'll also need 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 must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Other things you should know about hiring a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in most states to be able to hire a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the hire car website before you travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure 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 on ferries or go off-roading with a hired car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
