Can I drive in Watkins Glen with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license issued in the United States, you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting 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 valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the car must also match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about renting a car 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 rules and regulations, as well as the car rental website before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your home vehicle. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
