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

  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before sliding behind the wheel. You typically can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on off-road areas with a rental vehicle.
