It's best to know this before collecting the vehicle so you can have the funds ready. Every rental car company has its own policies for younger drivers, so do your research.
Can I drive in Palatine with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the United States, you may be required to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car in the U.S. 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 that was used to hire the car must also 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 need to be 25 or older in many states to hire a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the hire car company before your trip to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your car hire. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
