Can I drive in Del Mar with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license issued in the U.S, you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S., note that you’ll also need to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. 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 local rules and regulations, as well as the car rental website before you travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your rental car. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
