Can I drive in The Lakes with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the U.S, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required, note that you'll also need to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the car needs to 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 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the company you're renting from before your trip to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse off-road areas with your home vehicle. Please read the regulations before you book!
