Can I drive in Sterling with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in the U.S, you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the car hire process. 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 identification. Lastly, the credit card that was used to hire the car must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Other things you should know about hire cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states in order to hire a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the car hire company before you travel to understand all the 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 U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse off-road areas with your hire car. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
