Can I drive in Columbus with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the United States, then you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. 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, your credit card used to rent the vehicle 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 or older in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the car rental company before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
