Can I drive in Charlotte with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the United States, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S, know that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about renting a car in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 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 rental car company before you travel to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you drive off to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your rental car. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
