Can I drive in Melbourne with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the U.S, 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 required for you to drive in the U.S., know that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. 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. Other things you should know about hire cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll 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, and with the hire car company before you go to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with your car hire. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
