Can I drive in Raleigh with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license issued in the U.S, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., know that you’ll also have to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, and with the car rental company before you book 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 any unnecessary charges. When renting 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 car rental. Please read the regulations before booking!
