Can I drive in Rapid City with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license issued in the United States, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, be aware that you’ll also have to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about rental cars 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 years. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you go to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the U.S, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with a rental car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
