Can I drive in Carmel with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license from the United States, you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required, be aware that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about rental cars 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. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the company you're renting from before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your home vehicle. Please read the details before you book!
