Can I drive in Berkeley with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license issued in the United States, then you may need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required, know that you'll also have to show your current 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 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 in order to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the rental car 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 drive off the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse off-road areas with your home. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
