How old do you have to be to rent a car in Traverse City?
The minimum age is 21. But there are a handful of age-related requirements to bear in mind before reserving your Traverse City wheels. If you're a young driver, most rental outlets will charge an extra fee and limit the types of vehicles you can rent. The precise surcharge, and which ages it applies to, varies between providers. It's always a good idea to compare the rules.
What do you need to rent a car in Traverse City?
You'll generally require a valid driver's licence and credit card in your name when picking up the car. Proof of coverage may also be needed if you choose to opt out of the company's insurance policy. These requirements may differ between rental outlets, so it's a good idea to check the terms and conditions.

Where can I find a Traverse City car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the rental companies located in Traverse City. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found an outlet that does cater to drivers under 25, take note that additional fees may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before collecting the vehicle.
Can I drive in Traverse City with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license from the United States, you may be required to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence 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, know that you'll also have to show your current 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 finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in many states to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the company you're renting from before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your car rental. Please read the details before you book!
