There are milestones during in life: turning 16 and getting a driver's license, turning 18 and getting to vote, and turning 25 and getting to rent a car. However, with E-Z Rent-A-Car, this final milestone can be reached much earlier. Under age car rentals can be a tricky subject, often mired in additional charges and restrictions (that is, if the rental is allowed in the first place). Here are a few tips on what to as an underage car renter.
First, read all the car rental policies and procedures concerning an underage car rental. There are most likely additional fees that will be applied to your car rental for being under 25, but the important topics are the classes of autos that are available and payment types. If a debit card is being used, make sure the car rental company accepts debit cards, and more importantly, accepts debit cards from underage renters.
Second, look for student or underage car rental discounts. Because there are additional underage fees to include in your total bill, see if the car hire company has any under age car rental specials to help save some money.
Third, bring all applicable documentation. Make a car rental reservation ahead of time, print the confirmation. Find your car insurance documentation, make sure there is coverage for a rental car. Bring the car insurance documentation, or decide if the coverage is applicable.
