Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Madison?
Set your own course in Madison, with car rental prices as low as a day. That’s based on prices found within the past seven days. With rates like this, it’ll be a cinch to find a ride that meets your needs.
What happens if I need to cancel my Madison car reservation?
Good news! You should be eligible for a complete refund if you let us know more than six hours before the arranged pickup time. Your confirmation contains details 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 your cancellation policy.
What types of cars can I rent in Madison?
Whatever meets your needs! Go for an intermediate or full-size if you’re travelling with the family, or level up to a premium if it’s sophistication you’re after. Or, choose an economy vehicle — the most popular home in Madison. Affordable and with great mileage, they’re ideal for singles, couples or anyone else who doesn’t require a whole lot of room. They’re particularly suited to driving around cities. Zipping into narrow parking spots will be a snap!
Where can I go on a road trip from Madison?
Madison has plenty to keep you busy, but don’t limit yourself to only one place. Arrange a set of wheels and hit the road to discover what else awaits in the surrounding area. These are some great options:

  • Randolph is roughly 121 kilometres from Madison. Well-known tourist spots like Mount Washington State Park should be high on your list here.
  • Roughly 129 kilometres away, North Conway is also popular with travellers. Set aside time to take in Cranmore Mountain Resort while you’re here. It’s one of the reasons people love this city.
  • Head to Herring Cove Beach to feel grounded in nature. Take a picnic to enjoy or just recharge your batteries in the fresh air. From Madison, it’s 306 kilometres away.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Madison?
Anyone with a valid driver’s license aged 21 and above can rent a car in Madison. While some suppliers may be willing to accommodate drivers younger than 21 you can expect additional fees. Find out what age range the young renter fee applies to, and associated costs, before booking. Outlets also restrict the categories of cars young drivers can rent. Higher age limits apply for large vehicles like premium SUVs and luxury models.
What do you need to rent a car in Madison?
Your driver’s license and a credit card in the same name are essentials. Opting out of the company’s insurance plan? In that case, you’re also likely to need proof of other coverage. Requirements can differ between home companies, so read your policy thoroughly.

Yes. We partner with reputable providers that offer weekly and monthly homes for all types of cars. Head to our long-term car rental deals and discover every corner of Madison — or beyond!
Where can I find a Madison car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether or not you can rent a vehicle under the age of 25 in Madison often depends on the home provider you select. Some places apply a surcharge for young drivers aged between 21 and 24 years, whereas other companies may not apply any extra fees for this age range. It’d be wise to go through the terms and conditions of your prospective home company to avoid any surprise charges when collecting your car.
Can I drive in Madison with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license issued in the United States, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. 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 valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about renting a car 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. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as the car rental website before you go to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your car rental. Please read the details before you book!
