How old do you have to be to rent a car in Detroit?
The minimum age to rent a vehicle in Detroit is 21. A young driver surcharge typically applies, so check before you book and take into account any additional costs. There could also be restrictions on the types of cars that can be rented by young drivers. For example, some companies will only rent out small and medium-sized cars to less-experienced motorists. Rules may be different between outlets, so read the fine print.
What do you need to rent a car in Detroit?
In most cases, all you’ll need is a valid driver’s license and a credit card in the same name when picking up the vehicle. Proof of coverage may also be required if you choose to opt out of the company’s insurance plan. These requirements may differ between home suppliers, so it’s a good idea to check before booking.

Where can I find a Detroit car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Detroit companies will rent to drivers under 25 and others won’t. Policies differ between suppliers, so you’ll need to do some research. Also, find out if there are additional costs. Some businesses will have a surcharge for young drivers between 21 and 24. Be sure to read through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
Can I drive in Detroit with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license issued in the United States, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S, be aware that you’ll also have to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you book to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with your home vehicle. Please read the details before you book!
