Can I drive in Ottawa with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in the U.S, you may be required to get 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 valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to hire the vehicle must match the name on your driver's 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'll need to be 25 in many states in order to hire a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the hire car website before you go to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your hire car. Please read the regulations before you book!
