With the majority of the larger, national car rental companies, you must be 21 or over to rent a car. Rent A Wreck's website states that many of their locations will rent to those 18 and over. You must contact the rental location directly for information on their particular age policy.
The first thing you should do, is check with your insurance company to see if they have a partnership with any car rental companies, that will allow a renter 18 years of age. The normal minimum age to rent a car is 21-25, but your insurance company may have contracted a partnership with a certain car rental company, that would allow you a rental car under age 21.
In California you have to be at least 25 years old to rent a car. Insurance companies will not give an 18 year old rental car insurance. If you do find a rental car company that will allow you to rent a car from them, the insurance you have on your own vehicle will cover the rental car as well.
That is probably a violation of your rental car contract and you can get in a lot of trouble for it, especially if something happens to the car. Your insurance company might not cover an unauthorized driver on a rental car, and if there is an accident, you would be held liable for all the costs associated with any damage or injury.
Unfortunately, when you're under 18 you cannot use a rental car. The only situation where you will be able to use a rental car is if your car is in an accident and insurance is covering your rental car.
The State of New Mexico has nothing to do with the age you are allowed to rent at. The rental car company has an Insurance policy that protects them from rental driver stupidity. That policy says who they can rent too and who they may not. Ask the particular rental company you think you would like to rent from. I will bet no company will rent under 21 and most not under 25.

Ace Rental Car is a world wide car rental service. They have locations in 18 countries and territories with locations such as the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
It depends what the contract for the rental car is. Usually there is one or two specific people that are only allowed to drive, and they usually have to be at least 21. Sometimes you are allowed to rent a car at 18, but because of insurance purposes, the cost is higher. If you want to find out if you are allowed to drive a rental with a permit, check the contract or just call the rental company to check.
Im sorry but the answer unfortunately is no. You must be 21 in age to rent a car just like you need to be 21 to drink. Perhaps you could rent from a friend as they would not be obligated to the 21 year old rule like a rental company.
E-Z Rent a Car is the only national rent a car company offering college age car rentals to drivers ages 18 to 21.
This is more dependent on the car rental company than the state. As long as you have a valid, unrestricted drivers license, you can drive any car. However, most car rental companies do not let anyone under the age of 25 rent a car. If you are between 18-25, you might be in luck with a smaller car rental company, but don't be surprised if you get charged some type of extra fee.
You must be 25 to rent or drive a rental car.
