How old do you have to be to hire a car in Des Plaines?
You need to be at least 21 to sit in the driver's seat of a hire vehicle in Des Plaines. Bear in mind that young drivers may only be able to rent from a few car classes, such as compact, economy and medium size. Higher age limits usually apply for luxury and specialty vehicles. Many providers will also charge a young renter fee. Read the rules carefully before clicking book and factor any surcharge into your holiday budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Des Plaines?

Where can I find a Des Plaines hire car if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver looking for a hire car in Des Plaines, check the policies of the various hire car companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. Surcharges may apply if you're between 21 and 24 years of age. To avoid any unpleasant surprises at the hire desk, make sure you know exactly what to expect.
Can I drive in Des Plaines with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the United States, you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car. 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, the credit card used to hire the vehicle must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Additional requirements for car hire in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to hire a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the car hire company before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse rough terrain with your car hire. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
