Most major car rental companies require renters to be at least 25 years of age. Try looking for non-major rental companies (smaller independent rental companies). Some of the major car rental companies will allow under 25 driving for military traveling under official government orders. A copy of those orders should be presented at the time of rental.
One company that will rent to someone under 21, for a large fee, is Thrifty Car Rental. Most rental companies won't if you're under 21, unless your regular vehicle is getting repaired and you have rental car insurance on your insurance policy.
No, you do not have to be 25 years old to drive a rental car. Many rental car companies allow drivers as young as 21 to rent a car, but there may be additional fees or restrictions for drivers under 25.
Most if not all major auto rental companies (Enterprise, Dollar, Thirft, Hertz, Avis, etc.) will rent to people under 25, but many will charge an additional fee for renters between 18 and 25 or 21 and 25 (depending on state).
Yes, you can legally drive a rental car even if the vehicle is not registered under your name. Rental car companies allow individuals to drive their vehicles as long as they meet certain requirements, such as having a valid driver's license and meeting the minimum age requirement.
If you are caught driving a rental car under the age of 25, you may face additional fees or penalties from the rental company. Some rental companies have age restrictions and may not allow drivers under 25 to rent a car or may charge extra fees for younger drivers. It is important to check the rental company's policies before renting a car to avoid any issues.
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.
No major car rental companies are willing to rent to someone under the age of 21, although if you are under 25, you may be forced to pay a surcharge. Only New York and Michigan require car rental companies to rent cars to people as young as 18.
Many travelers operate under the misconception that car rental rates are all about the same, and that shopping is a waste of time. But rates do vary--sometimes by quite a bit--between companies and destinations.
Most rental companies won't rent vehicles to anyone under 21 years of age, but they may allow someone between the ages of 18 and 20 to be on the paperwork as an additional driver.
A lot of car rental companies will still allow you to rent a car, but will charge much higher prices. Call the car rental companies in the area to see if they allow rentals for those under 25, and how much extra it will cost.
