Can I drive in Gold Coast with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license from the United States, then you may need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. 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 forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the car 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 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 local rules and regulations, as well as with the company you're renting from before you go to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off 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 Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your home vehicle. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
