Can I drive in Lake Tahoe with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the United States, you may be required to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. 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 valid driver's license and your passport or other form 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. Some additional requirements for renting a car 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 allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you book to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your rental car. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
