How old do you have to be to rent a car in Detroit?
Detroit requires drivers to be 21 and above before they can rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra cost and stricter rental conditions. Most suppliers impose a daily young renter fee on top of the standard car rental rate. This covers the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like compact and economy) are available to young motorists, restrictions generally apply to specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Detroit?
The main requirements are a valid driver's license and a credit card in the same name. Car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of other coverage if you choose to opt out. Check your policy terms and conditions to avoid any issues.
What is the cheapest car rental in Detroit?
According to prices found within the past seven days, the lowest daily rate for a cheap car rental in Detroit was just $53. The next lowest price was $58 per day.

Where can I find a Detroit car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the rental car companies operating in Detroit. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, be aware that extra costs may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before picking up the keys to your vehicle.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Detroit?
It's a good idea to add collision protection while reserving your Detroit car rental with Expedia. This covers your ride against vandalism, theft and accident damage throughout your road trip. Offering up to $35,000 in primary coverage and 24/7 emergency support, you can relax knowing you'll be covered if the unexpected happens.
