Pick up an awesome deal with Expedia. Simply choose the car class, select your dates and preferred pick-up and drop-off points, and browse offers from leading rental suppliers. Make even bigger savings when you bundle your Detroit car hire with flight or hotel bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Detroit?
Hire car rules in Detroit require drivers to be 21 and above. Are you a younger driver? Some restrictions and surcharges could apply. Rental suppliers impose what is known as a young renter surcharge, which is an additional fee to the rental car cost. Restrictions usually apply to the categories of cars young people can rent as well. Age limits may vary between providers, so check before you book.
What do you need to hire a car in Detroit?
Generally, you'll need a current driver's license and a credit card in the same name when collecting your car. You may also need proof of coverage if you'd prefer to opt out of the company's insurance plan. Rules may differ between rental companies, so it's a good idea to read the fine print.
What is the cheapest car hire in Detroit?
Detroit has had some very happy rental car drivers lately. The cheapest daily rates recorded within the past seven days were £44 and £45. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I hire a car for a month or longer in Detroit?
Yes. Expedia partners with reputable companies that offer long-term rentals for all types of cars. Reserve one of our long-term car hire deals and explore every part of Detroit — or far beyond!
Where can I find a Detroit hire car if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Detroit rental suppliers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years of age, some companies will charge extra fees. It's handy to know this before collecting the vehicle so you can have the funds ready. Every rental car company has its own policies for younger drivers, so be sure to do your research.
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 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 part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, note that you'll also need to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card that was used to hire the car must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Other things you should know about hired a car 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, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as the car hire website before your trip to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When hiring a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with your hire car. Please read the details before booking!
