And is there any additional fee (My university has a contract with National which weives the young renter fee)?
if you search up the location on nationals website it will state
AGE -

The underage surcharge for drivers between the ages of 18 and 20 is $64.50 per day. The underage surcharge for drivers between the ages of 21 and 24 is $24.50per day. Renters between the ages of 18 and 20 may rent the following vehicle classes: Economy through Intermediatesize. Renters between the ages of 21 and 24 may rent the following vehicle classes: Economy through Full Size cars, Cargo and Minivans, and Compact, Small and Standard SUVs with seating up to 5 passengers.

It's probably dependent on the station/which station manager is on duty that day and who is at the gate. YUL didn't even allow me to take a pickup truck at first due to age, but let me through after checking with enterprise that they indeed rent out pickup trucks to under 25. At LAS I was let through with a BMW 228 on a luxury reservation the first night, however got stopped with a Q5 with luxury reservation on another night.
