How old do you have to be to rent a car in East Lansing?
You need to be at least 21. But there are several age-related restrictions you should be aware of before you lock in your East Lansing wheels. If you’re a younger driver, most home outlets will charge an extra fee and limit the sorts of vehicles you can rent. The surcharge, and which ages it applies to, differs between outlets. It’s a good idea to compare the rules.
What do you need to rent a car in East Lansing?
A valid driver’s license and a credit card in the same name are two essentials. Opting out of the company’s insurance plan? In that case, you may also require proof of your own coverage. Requirements can differ between home suppliers, so be sure to read through your policy.

Where can I find an East Lansing car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between holiday home companies, so you’ll have to do some research. Found an East Lansing outlet that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? That’s great! Just take note that a surcharge often applies to drivers between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each holiday home car you’re considering should have all the details you need.
Can I drive in East Lansing with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license issued in the United States, you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements 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 used to rent the vehicle must also match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to confirm your home. Additional requirements for car rentals in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You 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 go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with a rental car. Please read the regulations before you book!
