Where can I find a Traverse City hire car if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver hoping to hire a vehicle in Traverse City, check the policies of the various rental companies you're interested in. Some may hire to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be extra fees if you're between 21 and 24 years old. To escape any surprises on pick-up, make sure you know if any extra charges apply to you.
Can I drive in Traverse City with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in the U.S, you may be required 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 vehicle must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Additional requirements for hire cars in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in many states to hire a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the company you're hiring from before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you leave the lot to avoid 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 rough terrain with your hired vehicle. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
