How old do you have to be to rent a car in Madison?
Usually, the rules are 21 years of age and over in Madison. It should be noted that most outlets will apply a young renter surcharge. Read the fine print before you sign up, as rules may differ between rental car providers. Keep in mind that if you’re planning to rent a luxury ride or a large car like a premium SUV, drivers may need to be older than 21.
What do you need to rent a car in Madison?
Any home company you select will ask for these two things — your driver’s license and a credit card in your name. If you choose to opt out of the provider’s insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it’s time to pick up your ride.

Where can I find a Madison car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between home suppliers, so be prepared to do a bit of shopping around. Managed to find a Madison outlet that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? Terrific news! Just be aware that an extra charge often applies 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 Madison with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license from the United States, then you might 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, know that you’ll also have to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about rental cars 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 years. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you go to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your home. Please read the regulations before you book!
