Car rentals for people under 25?
I'm planning a trip and need a rental car, but everyplace has an under-25 driver fee. Being 24 and trying to save money, I'm wondering if anyone knows of a rental car company that doesn't charge a fee for drivers younger than 25.

Re: Car rentals for people under 25?
unfortunately, i think that is state wide. you have to be 25 to rent a car. can you get someone who is 25 to rent the car for you?

Trip is out of state - getting a car isn't a problem, just don't want to pay ~30 dollars a day extra.

There's no way around the feel. Enterprise is the least amouint charged I believe. I rented a car last year.

Re: Car rentals for people under 25?
On behalf of the Car Rental Industry I apologize.
I work for Avis and Budget. Budget used to allow under 25 rentals until we bought them. It's a major insurance issue to rent to under 25ers.
Your best bet is to get someone over 25 to rent it for you and put you on as an additional driver.
And as much as it pains me to say it, Enterprise will wind up costing you the least in this case.

Re: Car rentals for people under 25?
Does anybody know why this law exists? I just think it's silly that I'm married, have a child, have a home, and I still can't rent a car.

Re: Car rentals for people under 25?
i think its along the same lines as the car insurance issue. its cheaper when you are over 25. not sure why, its just what the insurance people decided

My car was hit by a massive SUV last year two months before my 25th birthday. I had to pay for the rental up front before being reimbursed and fortunately I didn't have to pay the fee. I think it was because the collision shop dud so much business with Enterprise.

I worked at Enterprise. Enterprise allows 21 and over to rent a car, as long as it is a full size car or lower. A premium vehicle (maxima, camry) or higher like a minivan or SUV, you need to be 25 or higher.
They do not charge fees if you are between 21 and 25. At least not when i worked there...

Thanks, I'll have to keep Enterprise in mind for our next trip.

Re: Car rentals for people under 25?
We looke dup enterprise. It's still the cheapest with a $15 daily fee.
FFIL offered to rent the car for us, but I would prefer not to do that god forbid we get into an accident or something.
