Driver's age field on new website?
Don't remember seeing this until I was messing with the site earlier today, but there's now a field for driver's age on the reservations section. What I thought was most interesting was that it took a number of options, but 25 and 26 were still separate entries (with 27+ being the catch-all).
Doesn't make any difference for me, but I thought it was all that they pulled 25 and 26 out as separate values that you could enter, and didn't do 25+ which is where the companies normally stop charging you extra for renting. Playing around with it it doesn't seem to make any difference if you select 25 or 26 instead of the 27+ (obviously at 24 it does make a difference, oddly limiting it to a weird selection of cars (standard, standard suv and minivan for the dates I was playing with - no midsize or fullsize, plus of course the underage fee).
Makes me wonder if they might start targeting 25 and 26 year olds for more fees or limitations or something.
