Additonal Driver Question
If someone over the age of 25 rents a car, is it illegal for someone under 25, who wasn't listed on the rental agreement, to drive it? Is it ok if that person had a vaild US drivers license and insurance?
It would be considered to be a violation of the terms and conditions of the rental agreement that the renter signed. Rental car companies require that additional drivers must be 25 or over and must be present at the rental counter to complete and sign an additional driver form.
If the rental car was damaged in any way (by the renter or unauthorized driver) the renter of the vehicle would be fully responsible for any damages to the car... any insurance coverage that they had or had purchased would be considered null and void, because they had violated the terms and conditions on their rental agreement.
