Can I drive in Chattanooga with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license from the United States, then you may need to get 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, be aware that you’ll also have to show your valid driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to confirm your home. 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 regulations, as well as with the rental car company before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your car rental. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
