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?

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.
Can I drive in Des Plaines with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in the United States, you may be required to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S, know that you'll also have to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in many states in order to rent 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 renting from before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
