You’ll generally be restricted to a few car categories, such as compact and mid-size, and may also have to buy inclusive insurance. Always enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to find out if any restrictions or surcharges apply.

Be prepared to present a valid driver’s license and a credit card in your name at the home counter. Before pickup, check with your selected home company whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of insurance.

Where can I find a Madison car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you’re a younger driver hoping to rent a vehicle in Madison, it’d be wise to check the terms and conditions of the home companies you’re interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25 some may not. Surcharges may apply if you’re aged between 21 and 24. To escape any unpleasant surprises at the home counter, make sure you know exactly what to expect.
Can I drive in Madison with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license from the United States, then you may need to get 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, be aware that you’ll also have to show your valid driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, your 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. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 or older in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, and with the car rental company before you book to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. 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 your home vehicle. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
