Under 25 the fees are less ridiculous, but still a lot, $25-40 a day.

One suggestion is Hertz has this thing where they waive the underage fee for people under 25 (not under 21), go to their website, and it should be a special somewhere.

Hertz and some other companies waive the underage fees for those who are employees of companies that have it in their agreement with Hertz that such fees are not to apply. A number of large companies' employees are exempted from such fees even if under the age of 21 and/or 25 years.
