Can I drive in Winterset with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license from the U.S, then you may need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required, be aware that you’ll also have to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to confirm your home. Some additional requirements for renting a car 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 state and local regulations, and with the car rental company before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you leave the lot 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, use car ferries or traverse off-road areas with your home. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
