I'm uncertain of the legality of this, but it's probably illegal as it is a safety issue and qualifies as an "unsafe vehicle". Basically, a rental company shouldn't rent you a car with a cracked windshield, and you have every right to request a replacement.

It is common, however, for rental cars to have minor chips and "starburst" cracks in the windshield glass. These are repaired with a resin injection to prevent the chip from getting bigger, but should not be any bigger than a pencil eraser. If you run your fingertips over it and it feels mostly smooth, it's probably been repaired. If you can feel the divot, it needs to be fixed.

How old to be to drive a rental in New Mexico?

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.

How old do you have to be to rent a rental?

The minimum age to rent a car varies from company to company--and sometimes even by state within a given company. Most rental agencies require a minimum age of 21 to rent a vehicle, but there is an added surcharge on top of the base rate if the renter is under 25. Smaller companies, however, may rent to people as young as 18.
