Even though she can rent on her own without an underage fee, Hertz's counter system would not let her be added at all as an 18-year old under my contract.

Now if your son's friend is over 20, think Hertz will let him drive (most likely without an underage fee since USAA CDP will probably waive it), but I'm not at all certain about this.

I guess I'm going to have to research this some more. I mentioned up-thread a bit that I WAS able to add my 20-year-old to a USAA Hertz rental for free (she needed the car for a one way; I'm the only one with Gold points that made the rental economical). But maybe 20 is better than 18?
