Make sure you understand the terms and conditions of your prospective car rental dealer to avoid excessive charges when collecting your car.
Can I drive in Athens with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the U.S, then 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 for you to drive in the U.S., be aware that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. 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 places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as the car rental website before you travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your home vehicle. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
