I am 21 and I need a car rental for a week in MSP, but those underage fees are going to eat me lunch. I'm looking at $175 just in underage fees.
I know these types of questions have been asked plenty of times before, but some of those posts are a few years old and I wonder if anything has changed between now and then. I don't really want to do anything illegal, or lie if I have too...
Are there any membership cards or credit cards that will waive or reduce the fee?
i.e. student advantage card
Which car rental company is best for underage renters?
Is there some other loophole that will waive the fee?
Thanks again for all of your help in advance!
First of all wellcome to FT
AirMechanic,
try a search in the Hertz forum I am sure taht this was asked in 2006 so you'll get some up to date information. Beside this you may wanna try Europcar. At least in Europe they don't charge any underage fees and they have a station in MSP.
Fortunately I don't need to care about this anymore as I passed the magic 25. The downside is that I am short to 30 now
I am sure you'll find some way to avoid the fees (legally).
Cheers
