It's ideal to know about this before arriving at the desk so you can plan your budget accordingly. Every car hire company has its own rules for younger drivers, so do your research.
Can I drive in Santa Clara with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license from the U.S, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring a car in the U.S. 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 form 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 confirm your hire. Some additional requirements for hiring a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the hired car company before you book to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your hire vehicle. Please read the details before booking!
