Just take note that an extra charge often applies to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you’re interested in should have all the information you need.
Can I drive in Waterloo with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license issued in the United States, you may be required to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S, know that you’ll also have to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card you 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 rental cars 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 state and local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you travel to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your home vehicle. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
