How old do you have to be to rent a car in Rapid City?
Drivers 18 and above can road trip around Rapid City in a rental car. If you’re a young driver, a daily surcharge applies. You’ll usually have fewer car categories to pick from, such as economy and mid-size, and may also have to take out comprehensive insurance. Always enter the correct age of the primary driver when booking to learn if any surcharges or restrictions apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Rapid City?
The main requirements are your driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of alternative coverage if you opt out. Be sure to check with your home agency to avoid any problems.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Rapid City?
Yes. We partner with trusted providers that offer weekly and monthly holiday homes for many car categories. Check out our long-term car rental deals and explore every turn of Rapid City — or beyond!
Where can I find a Rapid City car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you’re a young driver looking for a car rental in Rapid City, we recommend reading the terms and conditions of the car rental companies you’re interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25 some may not. There may be additional costs if you’re between 21 and 24 years old. To escape any unpleasant surprises at the holiday home desk, make sure you do your research.
Can I drive in Rapid City with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license issued in the United States, then you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, note that you’ll also need to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the car must 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’ll need to be 25 in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the car rental company 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 fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or go off-roading with your rental car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
