Also, find out if there are additional costs. Some outlets will pass on a surcharge to young customers between 21 and 24. Make sure you read through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
Can I drive in Petersburg with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license issued in the United States, you may be required to organise 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, be aware that you’ll also have to show your 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. Other things you should know about hired a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in most states to be able to hire a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the company you’re hiring from before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you typically can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your hired vehicle. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
