Can I drive in Los Angeles with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license from the U.S, then you might need to apply for 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., be aware that you’ll also have to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms 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 finalize your car hire. Other things you should know about hire cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll 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 local regulations, and with the car hire company before you travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When hiring a car in the U.S, you typically can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse rough terrain with your hire vehicle. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
