It’d be wise to read the terms and conditions of your chosen home dealer to escape any nasty surprises on pickup.
Can I drive in Charlottesville with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license from the United States, you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements 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 identification. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the car must 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 in order to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. 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 get behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your home vehicle. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
