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

Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some added requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before driving away. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or off road with your rental car.
