Madison rules state drivers must be 21 and above before they can hire a car. However, young drivers can expect an extra cost and some restrictions on choice. Most providers impose a daily young renter fee on top of the standard rental rate. This covers the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like compact and economy) are available to young drivers, restrictions usually apply to premium and specialty cars.

Any hire company you choose will ask for these two things — your driver's license and credit card. If you choose to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your wheels.

Where can I find a Madison hire car if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to investigate the age policy of the Madison hire suppliers you're interested in. If you're under the age of 25, some companies will charge extra costs. It's better to know this before arriving at the desk so you can plan your budget accordingly. Each car hire company has its own terms and conditions for younger drivers, so it's smart to do your research.
Can I drive in Madison with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the U.S, you might need to apply for 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, note that you'll also need to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. 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. Some additional requirements for 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 areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, and with the hire car company before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse rough terrain with your car hire. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
