Whether you can hire a vehicle if you are under 25 in Des Moines often depends on the hire provider you choose. Some places apply a surcharge for young drivers between 21 and 24 years of age, yet others may not apply any extra fees for this age group. Be sure to read the terms and conditions of your selected hire car dealer to escape unnecessary costs when picking up your keys.
Can I drive in Des Moines with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the United States, you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring 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 valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to hire the vehicle must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Some additional requirements for hiring a car in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to hire a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the car hire company before you book to understand additional 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 hiring a car in the United States, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with a hire car. Please read the details before booking!
