Can I rent a car under 21?

 

No. The minimum age to rent a vehicle is 21 years of age. If you are between the ages of 21 and 24, a young renter fee may be applied to your rental. Renters 21 through 24 years of age may also be restricted to specific car classes. (See exceptions below.)

If you wish to know the cost of the 'Young Renter Fee' you may begin the reservation process to determine the exact amount of the fee for the rental location. You will have the option to confirm or cancel the reservation.
