Yup, and they won’t rent you a SUV/Large size car either. Apparently I can go to war, vote, drink, buy a new car, buy a house, own 15 cars, but I can’t rent an SUV or Large car. Sucks ---

Ya they double the price per day typically. Its a pretty dumb law esp since you carry your own insurance and responsible for damages. My company setup a corporate ID with Enterprise that I can use and they waive the fee for being under 25 and I am allowed to use it for Personal and Business travel which is nice since it costs them nothing. ---

It isn’t a LAW it is corporate policies that they all follow. They assume younger people are less responsible.

Where are you going? It certainly isn’t the law, it’s just the policy of most places. Try calling dealers in the area you are going and see if anyone just doens’t do it. Or you could just bargain with one of them to have them waive it. If you really don’t want to pay it, you can get out of it. ---

Try Hertz, They usually run specials on waiving the fee for underage. Both myself and another employee had gone down to Tx for work and didnt have to pay it ---

Texas sucks for renting cars. There is that separate tax on them every time I have been down there this year of like 5% or something. ---

I know AVIS rents to under 25 w/o a charge (at least they used to). When I used to travel for work when I was younger they were who I always rented with and never got any extra charges. ---

Yea it sucks, I’m currently having some work down to my caddy that will take 2 weeks, but it’s twice as much to rent a car since I’m only 23, I can be married, have kids, own a house, gamble, own land, drink a beer, etc… but can’t rent a car for a normal price, hahahaha So instead I’m having my wife and mom cart me around, It feels like I’m in middle school again :tup: ---
