Conduct some research into what those charges could be before booking your holiday home.
Can I drive in Canterbury with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license issued in the U.S, then you may need 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, be aware that you’ll also have to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about 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 places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you book to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse off-road areas with your car rental. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
