Can I drive in Canterbury with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license from the U.S, you may be required to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. 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 identification. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. 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 allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the company you’re renting from before your trip to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with your rental car. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
