* Safety: Younger drivers are statistically more likely to be involved in car accidents than older drivers. This is because they have less experience behind the wheel, and they may be more likely to take risks.
* Insurance: Rental companies are required to carry insurance on all of their cars. This insurance is more expensive for younger drivers, so rental companies may charge a higher rate or not rent to them at all.
* Liability: Rental companies are liable for any damage that is done to their cars. If a younger driver rents a car and damages it, the rental company may be held responsible.
* Company policy: Some rental companies simply have a policy of not renting to drivers under a certain age. This may be due to safety concerns, insurance costs, or liability concerns.
The specific age restriction for renting a car will vary from company to company. However, most companies will not rent to drivers under the age of 21. Some companies may rent to drivers as young as 18, but they will charge a higher rate.
If you are under the age of 21 and you want to rent a car, you may need to do some research to find a company that will rent to you. You may also need to pay a higher rate or provide additional documentation.
