Can I drive in San Jose with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Philippines, then you'll likely need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be able to rent a car. You should also note that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll have to show your current license your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. A few other things to note to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger, 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 what kinds of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before you drive away. You typically can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or go off-roading with a rental vehicle.
