Can I drive in Downtown Houston with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in the U.S, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements 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 vehicle must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. 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 years. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the company you're renting from before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
