Question 13

Can I drive in West Des Moines with my current driver's license?

Accepted Answer

If you don't possess a driver's license from the United States, you might need to organise 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 required, know 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 confirm your home. Additional requirements for car rentals 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 state and local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you travel to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your home vehicle. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
