Can I drive in Monterey with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license issued in the U.S, you may be required to get 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 driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your 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 to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking state and local regulations, and with the car rental company before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your home vehicle. Please read the regulations before booking!
