Question 13

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

Accepted Answer

If you don't have a license issued in the U.S, you might need to apply for 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., know that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the car must match the name on your 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 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as the car rental website 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 get behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your home. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
