It’s good to know about this ahead of time so you can have the funds ready. Every holiday home car company has its own policies for young drivers, so be sure to do your research.
Can I drive in Durham with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license issued in the U.S, you may be required to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country 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 form of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the car needs to match the name on your 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 must be at least 25 in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the company you’re renting from before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your home. Please read the regulations before booking!
