Can I drive in Boston 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 get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required for you 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 finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about rental cars 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 years. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as the car rental website before your trip to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with a rental car.
