Can I drive in Southwest with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a 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, note that you'll also need to show your current driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to hire the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Other things you should know about hiring 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 places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local 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 get behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse off-road areas with your car hire. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
