Can I drive in Big Island with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license issued in the United States, then you might need to apply for 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, know 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 confirm your home. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 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, as well as with the rental car company before you travel to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or go off-roading with a rental car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
