Can I drive in San Mateo with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Peru, then you might need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order to rent a car. You should also note that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll be asked to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some other requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be at least 25 in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it may still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before driving away. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental vehicle.
