Can I drive in Tehachapi with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license issued in the U.S, you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S., note that you’ll also need to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the vehicle must 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’ll need to be 25 or older 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 company you’re renting from before you go to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or go off-roading with your rental car. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
