How old do you have to be to rent a car in Bay City?
Bay City requires drivers to be at least 21 to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra charge and stricter home conditions. Most companies impose a young renter fee in addition to the standard home rate. This helps cover the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car categories (like mid-size and compact) are available to young renters, restrictions usually apply to specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Bay City?
A current driver’s license and a credit card in the same name are necessities. Don’t want to take out the company’s insurance plan? If that’s the case, you may need proof of other coverage. Rules can differ between suppliers, so be sure to read through your policy.

Where can I find a Bay City car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the holiday home car companies located in Bay City. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you’ve found a place that does cater to drivers under 25 be aware that additional costs may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before booking your holiday home car.
Can I drive in Bay City with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license from the U.S, you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required, know that you’ll also have to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as the car rental website before you travel to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse off-road areas with your home vehicle. Please read the regulations before booking!
