Can I drive in Downtown Sarasota with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s 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 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 ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the car needs to match the name on your 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 must be at least 25 in many states to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, and with the car rental company before you travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you drive off the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or go off-roading with your rental car. Please read the regulations before you book!
