Can I drive in Lakeland with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license from the United States, then you may need to get 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, know that you’ll also have to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other form 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 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 many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, and with the car rental company before you book to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with your car rental. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
