What do you need to rent a car in Palm Desert?

It'd be wise to read the terms and conditions of your chosen car rental dealer to avoid any nasty surprises on pickup.
Can I drive in Palm Desert with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the U.S, then you may need 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 part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., be aware that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card you 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 must be at least 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 with the rental car company before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you 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 typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your home. Please read the details before you book!
