Madison requires drivers to be 21 and above to rent a car. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra charge and some restrictions on choice.

While many car classes (like economy and compact) are available to young motorists, restrictions usually apply to premium and specialty vehicles.

Just be aware that some companies charge extra fees to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're looking at will have all the details you need.
Can I drive in Madison with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the United States, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S, know that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the vehicle must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Additional requirements for car rentals in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you go to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your car rental. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
