What's the Car Rental Underage Fees for New York?
Hi, I am looking for a car rental company in New York City. I did some research and I found out that New York rental car companies cannot deny rentals to 18 year old drivers. I'm 19 years old and I have a perfect driving record without any tickets of any sort. Will it cost extra to rent the car because I'm under 25?
You're right that the car rental companies cannot refuse to rent to someone 18 or older in the state of New York. I checked with several car rental companies for their underage fees (for that state and age specifically) and here's what I found:
Alamo - New York state : The minimum age for NY is 18 years of age, subject to car rental underage fees of up to $70.82 per day.
Avis - New York State has a minimum age of 18 to rent, with a $52 surcharge per day for renters age 18-20
Budget - In New York State at corporate-operated locations, the minimum rental age is 18 with a valid, acceptable credit card and driver's license, and an additional $52-per-day underage surcharge for drivers 18-20.
Dollar & Enterprise - their websites listed no specific information about underage fees in New York; it was stated that you must call the rental location directly to find out this information.
Hertz - In New York, age 18-20 underage fee is $51/day
National - New York state : The minimum age for NY is 18 years, subject to a per day surcharge of up to $70.82
Thrifty - their website listed no specific information about underage fees in New York; it was stated that you must call the rental location directly to find out this information.
Hope this helps!
