Can I drive in Nelson with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license issued in the United States, 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, be aware that you'll also have to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, your credit card 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 or older in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you go to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to 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 a rental car. Please read the regulations before you book!
