Can I drive in Pasadena with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license issued in the U.S, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car. If you find that an IDP is required, be aware that you’ll also have to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to hire the vehicle must also match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Other things you should know about hire cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, and with the car hire company before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • 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 U.S, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with a hire car. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
