Can I drive in Amherst with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the United States, you may be required to apply for 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 valid driver's license and your passport or other forms 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 confirm your home. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in many states to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or go off-roading with your home vehicle. Please read the regulations before you book!
