Can I drive in Palm Springs with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license from the U.S, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., note that you’ll also need 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 needs to 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 places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the car rental company before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse rough terrain with your rental car. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
