Can I drive in Bristol with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license issued in the U.S, then you may 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 for you to drive in the U.S., note that you’ll also need to show your valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the vehicle needs to match the name on your 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 must be at least 25 in many states to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, and with the car rental company before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off so you can 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 your home. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
