Can I drive in Gaviota with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license issued in the United States, you may be required to apply for 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, note that you'll also need to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the vehicle must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about rental cars 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 allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the company you're renting from before you go to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with your home.
