    I'm sure that would depend on the particular rental car company. I would recommend doing an online search..........

    In 5 minutes I found this:

    Hertz:

    An acceptable valid driver's license, issued from your country of residence, MUST be presented at time of rental. The driver's license must be valid for the entire rental period. If the driver's license is in a language other than English, and the rental is in the United States, an International Driver's Permit is recommended. In all cases, a valid driver's license issued in your home country must be provided, whether or not you possess an International Driver's Permit. You will not be allowed to rent a Hertz vehicle with only an International Driver's Permit.

    A third form of I. D. may be required on some vehicles. The third I. D. form can be any one of the following:

    * Acceptable charge card other than the one being used or a Debit Card for I. D. only
    * Airline ticket or boarding pass in the name of the renter arriving at the local airport within the last 24 hours or Return airline ticket in the name of the renter departing from the airport where the vehicle is being returned
    * Government Issued Picture I. D. (such as valid Passport, State Issued I.D., or Military I.D. with picture).
    * A current utility bill in the name and address of the renter (address on the bill presented must match the address on the driver's license). Utility bill payments reflected on the bill may not be past due.

    Age

    If you are 25+ than there is no additional charge; if you are between the ages of 21-24 there is a $27-$37 additional charge depending on the location. Certain vehicles will require a minimum age of 25 to rent.
    If you are to add an additional driver of 25+ than there will be a charge that is dependent of the location although if you are an AAA member there may be a discount given at the counter when picking up the car.
