No, a 16-year old can not enter into a legally binding contract AT ALL, even with a parents signature. However, the parent can enter into a car lease and then give the car to the kid, but the child cannot get a car lease.

Legally, a sixteen year old may drive a rental car, assuming they're properly licensed. The individual allowed to drive the rental car MUST be listed on the rental contract. *MUST have ample insurance on all drivers.

That being said, if the sixteen year old were to drive that car without being listed on the contract, the parent/s are in violation of that contract, and will probably face civil sanctions.

Can a person with a permit drive a rental car?

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.

What happens if you drive a rental you didn't take out?

In general, only authorized drivers as specified on the rental contract are allowed to drive rental cars. This includes the person whose name is on the contract, and any additional persons specified on the form. A spouse is often included automatically (best to ask). If you drive a rental car that you are not authorized by contract to drive, and something happens to the car, the person whose name is on the contract will be held responsible.

Can anyone drive a rental car as long as they have insurance?

Absolutely Not. Only the people listed on the rental agreement are allowed to drive the rental car. This is a very big deal and is strictly stated in the rental contract that you sign so read it carefully. People who rent a car and let others drive it can be personally liable for damages done not only to the rental car but also for damaged to other people and property that are damaged, hurt, or killed in an accident. You need to be very careful about this. When you are signing the contract you are guaranteeing that no person under 25 will be driving the vehicle and that no person not expressly listed on the rental contract is driving and that you take full responsibility if you let others drive.
