REVscene Automotive Forum - View Single Post - California Area Car Rentals For <25 Year Old?

Tone Loc · 04-14-2017, 09:26 PM

Planning a 6-7 day trip to California with the GF next month, thought it would be fun to rent a car and drive the Pacific Coast Highway (bucket list!), hit up LA, San Diego, San Francisco etc.

Only problem is I'm 24, and I heard that USA car rental places add crazy surcharges on drivers under 25 who want to rent a car. I don't plan on getting anything fancy, probably a small SUV/crossover or midsize car.

Does anyone know a company - preferably a larger "chain" rental business - that charges the lowest (or none at all) surcharge for younger drivers? If you could tell me how much you paid that would help as well.

Thanks in advance!
