Can I drive in New Orleans with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license from the United States, then you might 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, note that you'll also need to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to hire the vehicle must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Some additional requirements for hiring a car 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 places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the car hire website before you travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you get behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your car hire. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
