How old do you have to be to rent a car in Madison?
The youngest age you can rent a vehicle in Madison is 21. An extra fee for young drivers usually applies, so check before you book and factor in any extra costs. There could also be restrictions on the categories of vehicles available to young drivers. For example, some providers will only rent out small to medium-sized cars to less-experienced motorists. Requirements may differ between suppliers, so be sure to read the fine print carefully.
What do you need to rent a car in Madison?
The essentials are your driver's licence and a credit card in your name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of other coverage if you prefer to opt out. Make sure you check your policy terms and conditions to avoid any hassles.

Where can I find a Madison car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the car rental companies that are in Madison. They often have different age policies. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, be aware that additional fees may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before booking your rental car.
Can I drive in Madison with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the U.S, you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required, note that you'll also need to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in most states to be able 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 all the 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, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your home. Please read the regulations before you book!
