Just keep in mind that an extra charge often applies to drivers between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're considering should have all the details you need.
Can I drive in Sacramento with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the U.S, then you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., know that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the car must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your home. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You 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 state and local regulations, and with the car rental company before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with your home. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
