So many extras we added on to the total of the car. Bottom line if you have to rent a car and are under 25 shop around for the best price.

I'm 22 and rent from National (Alamo's sister-company) almost 40 times a year and have never been slapped with heavy surcharges. The bottom line is that you have to search around for rates that include underage surcharges rather than blaming the rental agency.
