Just bear in mind that some companies charge extra fees to drivers between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're considering should have all the information you need.
Can I drive in Madison with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license issued in the United States, you might need to organise 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 required for you to drive in the U.S, be aware that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card you 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 with the company you're hiring from before you travel to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your car hire. Please read the regulations before you book!
