shouldn't think they'll let you hire a car without a licence, if that's what you had in mind.

I would suggest you don't have long enough to organise a drivers test for it to be worthwhile.

You don't have a US social security number, you're not a US resident, you don't have a permanent US address, and you're on a temporary visitors visa - which I think will rule out your eligibility (although each state has different laws).

If you want to drive in the US, suggest you pass your test here.

If you want a US drivers license suggest you contact a drivers school in the state you are visiting before you get there to see what can be done.

This US university information page for foreign students says "some students experience extremely long delays in receiving their permanent driver's license. Some students graduate before ever getting their permanent driver's license." See http://www.usc.edu/student-affairs/OIS/NewStud/dlc.html# D2 />
