Can I drive in Portsmouth with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the U.S, you may be required to apply for 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, note that you'll also need to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the vehicle needs to match the name on your 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 need to be 25 or older 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 with the company you're renting from before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, 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. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
