Can I drive in Dauphin Island with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license issued in the United States, then you might 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, note that you’ll also need to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the car must also match the name on your driver’s 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’ll need to be 25 or older in many states in order 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 rental car company before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid any 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 go off-roading with your home. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
