Can I drive in Downtown Detroit with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the U.S, you may be required to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring a car in the U.S. 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 current driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to hire the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Additional requirements for car hire in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in many states to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the hire car company before you travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse off-road areas with your car hire. Please read the details before you book!
