Can I drive in San Antonio with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the U.S, you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required, know that you'll also have to show your valid 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 driver's license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the company you're renting from before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you leave the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with a rental car. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
