Where are you renting? State law limits additional driver fees in some places. California - no fee. New York- capped at $3. Illinois, Nevada, Missouri, Wisconsin, Oregon -no fee for spouse.

Many of those CDP's have restrictions on which additional drivers qualify for the fee waiver. For instance, USAA waives the fee, but only if the additional driver is also a USAA member . So be aware that if the additional driver doesn't meet the requirements and damages the car, gets a ticket, or gets nailed for a video toll, that's a big violation of your rental agreement and you may find yourself both on the DNR list. It would also void any CDW you may have purchased.
