How old do you have to be to rent a car in East Lansing?
If you're 21 and above, you can rent a vehicle in East Lansing. Bear in mind that most rental suppliers will charge an additional fee if you're a young driver, which is meant to cover the higher accident or damage risk involved. Also, young motorists often aren't permitted to rent luxury cars or larger vehicles. Take note of the terms and conditions before booking to avoid any surprises at the rental counter.
What do you need to rent a car in East Lansing?
Two things — a valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of other coverage if you opt out. Be sure to check your policy requirements to avoid any problems.

Where can I find an East Lansing car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some East Lansing companies will rent to drivers under 25 years old, and others won't. Age policies differ between suppliers, so be prepared to do some research. Also, find out if there are any additional costs. Some outlets will pass on a surcharge to young customers between 21 and 24. Always check the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
Can I drive in East Lansing with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license issued in the United States, you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements 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 form of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the vehicle must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your home. Additional requirements for car rentals in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: 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, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with a rental car. Please read the regulations before you book!
