Can I drive in San Salvador with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in Mexico, then you'll likely need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car. It's also important to note that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll have to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. A few other things to note to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or over in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it might still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to what kinds of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before driving away. You typically can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or off road with a rental vehicle.
