What happens if I need to cancel my Madison car reservation?
We have good news! You should receive a full refund if you notify us a minimum of six hours before picking up the car. Your itinerary contains information about this, and so does our Customer Service Portal. Not all reservations will receive a refund though, so it’s a good idea to read through the car’s home agreement.
What types of cars can I rent in Madison?

Reliable, affordable and good on gas, these small cars pack plenty of punch. But Madison can be explored in almost any sort of home you like. Compact, full-size and premium vehicles are some other options to choose from.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Madison?

Also, young motorists usually aren’t permitted to rent luxury or specialty vehicles. Read through the terms and conditions before booking to avoid any surprises when you collect the keys.
What do you need to rent a car in Madison?
Your driver’s license and a credit card in the same name are necessities. Opting out of the company’s insurance plan? If that’s the case, you may need proof of your own coverage. The requirements may differ between suppliers, so have a thorough read of your policy.

Where can I find a Madison car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between home suppliers, so be prepared to do a little homework. Found a Madison supplier that does rent to under 25s? Great news! Just be aware that some companies charge additional fees to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you’re looking at should have all the information you need.
Can I drive in Madison 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 organise 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 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’ll need to be 25 in many states to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the company you’re renting from before your trip to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse off-road areas with your home vehicle. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
