Can I drive in Dayton with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license issued in the United States, you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence 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, the credit card that was used to rent the vehicle 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 in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can 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 certain types of rugged terrain with your car rental. Please read the regulations before booking!
