There may also be restrictions on the car categories available to young drivers. For instance, some companies will only hire out economy to medium-sized cars to less-experienced motorists. Rules may differ between providers, so read the fine print.
What do you need to hire a car in Detroit?
Generally, all you'll need is a current driver's license and a credit card in the same name when collecting your vehicle.

Where can I find a Detroit hire car if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the hire companies that are found in Detroit. They often have different age policies. If you've found an outlet that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, take note that additional costs may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before picking up the keys to your vehicle.
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, then you may 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 valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, your credit card used to hire the car needs to 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'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 state and local regulations, as well as with the company you're hiring from before you book to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off to avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your hired vehicle. Please read the regulations before you book!
