Hertz - Under 20 rental

Ok, to make a long story short, my car got wacked in a packing lot.

Where can I rent a car at 19 years old?

Not at Hertz. Alamo rented to under 25s in the past - check with them. Of course, you get hit for a ton of fees for being under 25.

i believe budget and thirfty do it.

Fees dont matter as it's not my $$.
Hertz and alamo wont do it up here in Boston!

Dollar definitely rents to under 25, don't know about under 21 though . . .

If it's an insurance replacement rental, being under 20 usually doesn't matter. If someone other than an insurance company is paying for it, I would suggest you try Enterprise or Advantage.

Thanks guys.
I've tried all the reccomended...NOTHING so far!

You're not trying hard enough, I guess.

I know for a fact that virtually every insurance company has agreements with virtually every major car rental company to allow anyone >18 to rent a car. Just call the insurance company and have them set it up for you, don't call the rental co and try and setup a normal rental.

More generally, this site has been helpful in the past. It doesn't list much under 21 anymore, though.

The only exception that I know of is they will rent to under 25 (don't know about 21) is if you are the CEO of a corporation. You could take out the papers to form an LLC (Limited Liability Company) for under $100, name yourself CEO (with business cards, of course) and go for it. I have a nephew who did it with a real company, while an undergraduate.

I think Enterprise allowed this in the past, but with a fee per day - something like $10 or $25

in boston, Merchants was always the standard 18-21 rental company when i was in school. if they're still around, give them a call.

You might also want to check with the company you work for - if they have a negotiated contract with Avis/Hertz/etc. there is often a provision for under 25's to rent.
