Can I drive in Marathon with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the U.S, then you might need 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, 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 used to rent the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Additional requirements for car rentals in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states 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 travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse rough terrain with your home vehicle. Please read the regulations before you book!
