Can I drive in Salem with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in the U.S, then you might 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., know that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the vehicle 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'll need to be 25 or older in many states in order 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 you travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel to avoid 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 traverse off-road areas with your car rental. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
