Can I drive in East Palo Alto 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 home country before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements 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 you used to rent the car must match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car. Please read the details before you book!
