Can I drive in Rapid City with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license from the United States, then you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring a car. 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 form of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to hire the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Additional requirements for car hire in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll 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 local regulations, as well as the car hire website before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse off-road areas with your hire vehicle. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
