How much is a rental car per day in Detroit?
Within the past seven days in Detroit, you could have driven away in a rental car for as little as AU$135 per day.
What happens if I need to cancel my Detroit car reservation?
If you have to make changes to your itinerary, the majority of rentals are eligible for a complete refund. Cancellations will need to be made a minimum of six hours in advance of the scheduled collection time. Read through your rental policy for any exceptions. Your booking details will have more details, or head over to our Customer Service Portal for more information.
Where can I go on a road trip from Detroit?
Once you've been to all of the interesting sights in Detroit, there's more to see in the surrounding area. Pick up the keys to a rental car, toss your bags in the trunk and hit the road. Here are some drives we think you'll love:

  • Portland is 97 kilometres from Detroit. Top-rated tourist attractions like Oregon Zoo should be at the top of your list here.
  • Why not see the wonders of Eugene too? Unmissable sights in this colourful city include Autzen Stadium. Eugene is around 105 kilometres from Detroit.
  • Visit Space Needle to discover some local nature. Take a picnic to enjoy or just relax in the fresh air. From Detroit, it's 322 kilometres away.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Detroit with Expedia?
Expedia makes it a breeze to compare costs, offers and rental providers, and to check customer ratings. Combine your Detroit car rental with flight or hotel bookings to make even bigger savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Detroit?
Anyone with a valid driver's licence aged 21 and above can rent a vehicle in Detroit. While some providers may be willing to accommodate drivers younger than 21, prepare for additional fees. Find out what ages the young driver surcharge applies to, and what it costs, before booking your ride. Providers also restrict the categories of cars young drivers can rent. Higher age limits apply for luxury and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Detroit?
The main requirements are your driver's licence and a credit card in your name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of alternative coverage if you opt out. Make sure you check with your supplier to avoid any hassles.
What is the cheapest car rental in Detroit?
AU$135 and AU$137 were the two lowest daily prices for rental cars in Detroit within the past seven days. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Detroit?
Yes, so there's no need to rebook a rental car in the middle of your holiday. Go to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and find a set of wheels that's all yours for the duration of your getaway.
Where can I find a Detroit car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental companies, so you'll have to do a bit of homework. Found a Detroit outlet that does rent to under 25s? Great! Just keep in mind that extra charges often apply to drivers between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're considering will have all the details 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!
