Rent A Car Enterprise

How old do you have to be to rent a car in the USA?

kitesurfer_amy asked:


Me and my friends are thinking of travelling around America in our gap year after we finish school. We want to rent a car to travel in but aren’t sure how old you have to be, we will all be 18 but someone told us you have to be 21 to rent a car in the states. Does anybody know?

    The average required age is 25, although some will let you do it at 21 if you put a deposit down.

    You have to be 25 to rent a car without additional fees.

    If you are between 21 and 24, you can still rent, but you will be paying a lot more money in additional fees.

    Absolute minimum age is 21.

    21 with Hertz, preferably 25 with Enterprise and other places. If your 25 prices are cheaper.
    In CA mostly 25.
    Also if you have more than one driver, you need to list them in case of an accident.
