How old do you have to be to rent a car in Des Plaines?
Drivers need to be at least 21. But there are some age-related rules you should know about before booking your wheels in Des Plaines. If you're a young motorist, most rental suppliers will charge an additional daily fee and limit the types of vehicles you're able to rent. The amount of the surcharge, and which ages it applies to, varies between outlets. Take a moment to compare the rules.
What do you need to rent a car in Des Plaines?
Your driver's license and a credit card in the same name. Don't want to take out the company's insurance plan? In that case, you may also require proof of other coverage. Requirements may differ between providers, so read your policy thoroughly.

Where can I find a Des Plaines car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver looking to rent a car in Des Plaines, we recommend reading the policies of the rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be additional fees if you're between 21 and 24 years of age. To avoid any unpleasant surprises at the rental desk, make sure you know exactly what to expect.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Des Plaines?
It's smart to have collision damage protection to cover your Des Plaines car rental against theft, accident damage and vandalism. And with Expedia, it's easy to purchase this insurance for your vehicle during the booking process. Covering primary physical damage of up to $35,000, it also offers 24-hour emergency help and a zero-dollar deductible if you need to make a claim. Plans changed? If you cancel your policy before your scheduled pick-up time, you'll get all your money back.
