Can I drive in San Salvador with my current driver's license?

You should also note that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own.

Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some added requirements for international car rentals are:

  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive away. You typically can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your rental car.
