Question 13

Can I drive in Durham with my current driver's license?

Accepted Answer

If you don't have a driver's license issued in the United States, you may be required to organise 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, note that you'll also need to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the car must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your home. 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 areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as the car rental website before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or go off-roading with your car rental. Please read the details before booking!
