It’s ideal to know about this in advance so you can plan your budget accordingly. Every holiday home car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so it’d be wise to do your research.
Can I drive in Athens with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license issued in the United States, 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 required, know that you’ll also have to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the car must also match the name on your driver’s 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’ll need to be 25 or older in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the car rental company before you go to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car.
