Driving in the U.S. & Local Transportation
If you wish to drive a private vehicle or rental car in the U.S., you must have a valid driver's license. If you have a valid driver's license in your home country, you may use that same license to legally drive in the U.S. However, if any part of your license is NOT in English you are strongly advised to apply for and receive an International Driving Permit (IDP) which is simply an English translation of your current valid driver's license.
