Can I drive in Detroit with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the United States, you may be required to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring a car.

Lastly, the credit card used to hire the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Other things you should know about hiring a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states in order to hire a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the hired car company before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or go off-roading with your car hire. Please read the details before you book!
