Can I drive in Santa Clara with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license from the United States, you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car in the U.S. 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 valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Additional requirements for car rentals 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 places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you go to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you leave the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with a rental car. Please read the regulations before you book!
