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

Where can I find a Detroit hire car if I am younger than 25?
Whether you can rent a car if you are under 25 in Detroit often depends on the rental supplier you choose. Some places apply a surcharge for young drivers aged between 21 and 24 years, whereas others may not have any additional fees for this age group. It’d be wise to understand the terms and conditions of your selected car company to escape any surprise charges on pick-up.
Can I drive in Detroit with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license from the U.S, then you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required, be aware that you’ll also have to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to hire the vehicle must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Some additional requirements for hiring a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 in many states in order to hire a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the company you’re hiring from before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When hiring a car in the United States, you typically can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your hire car. Please read the regulations before booking!
