Car Rental Underage Fee
Anyone know how to get a car rental company to waive their under 25 age fee? ?
I can get a 10 day rental from budget for $190, but then it's $27/day fee because I am under 25, does that extra fee add some sort of extra insurance or something? Is there a way to get this waived? Whether it be through a company or something.... or even a promo code?
There is no promo code that will waive the underage fee. Many companies who create corporate accounts with car rental companies, build a lower minimum age for their employees right into their contract. You can check with whomever handles travel arrangements for your company, or your human resources department.
The only other program the waives the underage fee, would be if you are a federal government employee or active duty military (usually requires government travel orders)
The fee doesn't provide extra insurance, sort of. The car rental companies carry liability on their vehicles for public liability and property damage. As drivers under 25 have a higher accident rate statistically, the car rental companies charge the extra fee to offset the liability claims. You would still be asked if you wanted to purchase an optional cdw or ldw to cover loss or damage to the rental car itself.
Hope this helps!
