Does anyone know cheap rental car companies for younger drivers?

Every company I found has a surcharge of $25 or $45 because of my ageDoes anyone know cheap rental car companies for younger drivers?
Your absolutely right most but not all companies do charge underage fees but there are factors.





1. if you are under 18 no chance of getting a car (regardless of price)


2. if you are between the age of 21-24 some companies charge 25 per day some are negotiable and some companies charge 12 per day the price variables are by state (in NY these prices are triple)


3 if you had a car accident and your filing a claim with an insurance company and your between 18-24 there is no charge


4. if you go to airport locations to rent between 21-24 more than likely you will get charged an underage fee





I don't work for this company anymore but;


My advice is to use Enterprise rent a car, they don't charge underage fees anymore at there local locations (this may vary by state) but they will limit you to only a few car classes such as full-size only, no options for luxury cars or large vehicles and you must have a major credit card not attached to a checking account and definitely not a prepaid credit card.Does anyone know cheap rental car companies for younger drivers?
No, because young people tend to wreck cars more than older people, so you'll pay more, not less. Sorry, fact of life. Your only other option is a place like Rent-a-Wreck, which rents out used, older cars. Not sure how they handle younger drivers, but you'll have a better chance of getting something cheaper there.

That's the way it works. A lot of the companies will simply say no if you're under 25.
