How old do you have to be to rent a car in Detroit?
Detroit rules state drivers must be 21 and over to rent a car. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra charge and some restrictions. Most providers impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the car rental rate. This covers the higher risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like compact and mid-size) are available to young drivers, restrictions usually apply to specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Detroit?
Two things — your driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. Many car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of other coverage if you choose to opt out. Be sure to check your policy requirements to avoid any issues.

Where can I find a Detroit car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between home suppliers, so you’ll have to do a bit of homework. Found a Detroit outlet that does rent to drivers under 25? Terrific news! Just keep in mind that some companies charge extra fees to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you’re looking at will have all the information you need.
Can I drive in Detroit with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license from the U.S, you may be required to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., note that you’ll also need 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 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’ll need to be 25 or older in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with your home vehicle. Please read the regulations before booking!
