Can I drive in Detroit Lakes with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the U.S, you may be required to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the car hire process. 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 you used to hire the car needs to match the name on your 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 in many states in order to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as the car hire website before you book to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your car hire. Please read the details before you book!
