Conduct some research into any extra charges before picking up the keys to your vehicle.
Can I drive in Ridgecrest with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license issued in the United States, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, note that you’ll also need to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to hire the vehicle needs to match the name on your 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 must be at least 25 in many states to hire a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as the car hire website before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off to avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you typically can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or go off-roading with your car hire. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
