Can I drive in Ames with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in the U.S, you may be required to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required, know that you'll also have to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the car must also match the name on your driver's 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 areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you go to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with a rental car. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
