How old do you have to be to rent a car in Dakota City?
Dakota City requires drivers to be 21 and above before they can rent a car. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra charge and tighter rental conditions. Many outlets impose a young renter fee on top of the usual car rental rate. This covers the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like compact and mid-size) are available to young drivers, restrictions generally apply to specialty and premium cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Dakota City?
The main things are your driver's licence and a credit card in your name. Many car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of other coverage if you opt out. Make sure you check with your rental provider to avoid any hassles.

You can. We partner with reputable companies that offer long-term rentals for all car types. Book one of our long-term car rental deals and discover every corner of Dakota City — or way beyond!
Where can I find a Dakota City car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental suppliers, so you'll have to do some research. Found a Dakota City supplier that does rent to under 25s? Terrific! Just take note that extra charges often apply to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're considering will have all the details you need.
