The general rule of thumb when it comes to age is that most car rental companies require the renter to be 25 years old to rent. Many companies will rent to customers between the ages of 21-24 also, but with restrictions, such as

Vehicle Type and Size Many companies will restrict an renter under 25 to certain size categories and restrict certain types of vehicles (example large suv's). Check with the rental company on these restrictions.
Credit I.D. You must show an acceptable form of Credit Identification. While a lot of companies now accept Debit Credit Cards, an underage renter must show a major charge card in their own name. Renters between 21 and 24 will not be allowed to use a debit card. Underage fee Most rental car companies charge underage fees to renters under 25 years of age. The average underage fee is around $25 a day extra. In the state of New York the underage fee is usually considerably higher. Note:Minimum age requirements may be different for additional drivers. Check with the car rental company. Most require all additional drivers (anyone other than the primary renter, to be 25 or older).
There are some exceptions: Insurance Replacement For car rental companies that provide it, you may be able to rent at a lower age while on an insurance replacement rental and have the underage fee waived. Some car rental companies only deal with certain insurance companies. Check with your insurance provider to find out which car rental company they partner with. Corporate Accounts Many companies have corporate accounts with various car rental agencies that lower the minimum age requirement and often, waive the underage fee that normally would apply. Check with your company's Human Resources Manager. Government RentersMany car rental companies allow Federal Government (military and civilian) Personnel to rent at a lower age and without an extra fee. Sometimes the age requirement and the underage fee waiver may depend on whether your rental is for government business or a leisure rental. Check with the individual rental company on their policy.
