How old do you have to be to rent a car in Detroit?
In Detroit, the rule is generally 21 years and over. Most companies will charge extra fees for young drivers, which can differ based on the rental location. Rental policies for young drivers may restrict certain vehicles, such as large cars, and require the purchase of comprehensive insurance. It's a good idea to check the fine print before locking in your ride.
What do you need to rent a car in Detroit?
A valid driver's license and a credit card in the same name. Don't want to take out the company's insurance plan? Then there's a good chance you'll also need proof of your own coverage. Rules may differ between rental suppliers, so read through your policy.
What is the cheapest car rental in Detroit?

Where can I find a Detroit car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Detroit outlets will rent cars to drivers under 25 years old, and others won't. Policies differ from supplier to supplier, so be prepared to do some research. Also, find out if there are additional costs. Some places will pass on a surcharge to young drivers between 21 and 24. Always check the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Detroit?
It's smart to have collision damage protection to safeguard your Detroit car rental against theft, accident damage and vandalism. And with Expedia, you can easily purchase this insurance for your vehicle during the booking process. Providing up to $35,000 in primary coverage, it also offers 24-hour emergency support and no deductible if you need to make a claim. Have your plans changed?
