There may be surcharges if you’re between 21 and 24 years of age. To avoid any unwanted surprises at the holiday home counter, make sure you know exactly what to expect.
Can I drive in Bellingham with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license issued in the United States, you may be required 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 you used to rent the car must match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll 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 local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you go to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse rough terrain with a rental car. Please read the regulations before booking!
