Among different countries, including Cusco, the minimum age for drivers varies. In numerous EU countries, drivers must be 18 years old.

When renting a car in Cusco, all drivers must present a full valid driving license. An International Driving Permit is required if the driving license is written in a language different to that of the country of rental and may be necessary to avoid the risk of potential fines. If you are renting abroad, you may also need to provide proof of return travel and accommodation information during your stay. We always recommend checking with the individual rental company you are booking with.
