Can I drive in Downtown Melbourne with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license from the United States, then you may 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, be aware that you’ll also have to show your valid driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the vehicle must also match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about 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 places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the car rental company before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your home vehicle. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
