Car Rental Options Expand for Young Drivers
Overview
For years, people in their early 20s have faced challenges renting cars due to the perception that they are riskier drivers. Traditionally, car rental companies have restricted rentals to those over 25. However, the landscape is changing as increased competition is prompting some companies to relax these age restrictions.
Evolving Policies
In response to the competitive market, some car rental companies are now allowing drivers under 25 to rent vehicles. However, this newfound access often comes with added costs.
Take Eugene Minkin, 23, who recently rented a car for a four-day trip to Miami with friends. Choosing Alamo Rent A Car, he encountered a $30 per person, per day surcharge because he and his passengers were under 25. With insurance and standard fees, his total exceeded $650. Despite the expense, Minkin appreciated the opportunity to rent a car?"a scenario that was nearly impossible in the past.
Established Leaders
Interestingly, some companies have long welcomed young renters. Rent-A-Wreck is one such example, having catered to young drivers since the early '90s. According to Jason Manelli, their director of public relations, Rent-A-Wreck considers itself an expert in rentals to younger drivers, offering rentals even to those aged 18 to 21.
Requirements and Precautions
Rent-A-Wreck ensures safety and reliability by requiring renters under 25 to have auto insurance, a personal credit card, and advance booking to verify references and insurance. Some locations also check credit reports and driving records, safeguarding responsible young renters and addressing the concerns that have tarnished the reputation of drivers in their early 20s.
These evolving policies are opening doors for young drivers, providing them with more options in the car rental market, while maintaining necessary precautions to ensure safe driving.
