Can I drive in Southwest with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the U.S, then you might need to organise 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 valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to hire the vehicle must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Additional requirements for 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 years. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the car hire company before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure 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, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your hire vehicle. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
