Can I drive in Madison with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license issued in the United States, then you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car. If you find that an IDP is required, note that you’ll also need to show your valid driver’s license and your passport or other form 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 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 areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the company you’re hiring from before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your hired car. Please read the details before you book!
