What is the minimum legal age that a person can rent a hotel or motel room?

18

While I'm not sure about ALL states, I can tell you that most of 'em have no codified restrictions on the a "required" age to rent a hotel room.

However, the national/regional hotel chains all have different policies on this. Most SAY that you have to be 18, but most also require that you leave a major credit card as a deposit for damage/theft of property. So, if you have a credit card (regardless of if you've reached the age of 18), you'll probably be able to get a room at most hotels.

18

hotels are supposed to ask for a credit card as the means of payment... and this is supposed to verify your age as being over 18. If though, you are able to obtain a credit card as a minor or find a hotel you can pay cash for then changes are you don't need to be 18.

Depends on a hotel....Sometimes it is 18,21,23 or 25

Depends on what state you are planning to rent this room in. Some are 18 and some are 21.
