Where can I find a Detroit car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the car rental companies operating in Detroit. They often have different age policies. If you’ve found an outlet that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, take note that extra costs may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before picking up the keys to your vehicle.
Can I drive in Detroit with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license from the U.S, you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. 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 valid driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you go to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off 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, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your home vehicle. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
