It’d be smart to read the terms and conditions of your chosen car company to escape extra costs when picking up your keys.
Can I drive in Princeton with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license issued in the U.S, you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence 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, the credit card you used to rent the vehicle must also match the name on your driver’s 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 most states to be able to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, and with the car rental company before you go to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse off-road areas with your car rental. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
