Most companies impose a daily young renter fee on top of the car rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car categories (like compact and mid-size) are available to young drivers, restrictions usually apply to luxury and specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Minneapolis?
Before you can road trip around Minneapolis, you'll need a driver's licence and a credit card.

Where can I find a Minneapolis car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether you can rent a car if you're under 25 years in Minneapolis often depends on the rental company you choose. Some places apply a surcharge for young customers between 21 and 24 years of age, yet others may not have any extra costs for this age bracket. Be sure to read the terms and conditions of your prospective car company to avoid any nasty surprises when collecting your car.
Can I drive in Minneapolis with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the United States, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car in the U.S. 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 forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card that was 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 most states to be able to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as the car rental website before you book 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 unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your home. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
