Can I drive in Madison with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the U.S, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring a car in the U.S. 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 driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was 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'll need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to hire a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the car hire company before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When hiring a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your hire car. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
