Although an International Driving Permit (IDP) is not legally required to drive in the USA, in the event of an accident, authorities will often ask for this in addition to your driving licence. As such, we recommend obtaining one before you travel.

Texting while driving is illegal**This information should be considered as a broad overview of things to remember when hiring a car.
