If you rent a car can someone else drive it and how old must that person be?

In most cases, yes, someone else can drive a rental car if they meet the rental company's requirements. Here are some general guidelines:

Age requirements: The minimum age to rent a car varies by rental company and location. It's typically between 21 and 25 years old, but some companies may allow younger drivers to rent certain types of vehicles with a young driver surcharge. The driver must have a valid driver's license and meet any other age-related requirements set by the rental company.

Additional drivers: Most rental companies allow you to add additional drivers to your rental contract for a fee. Each additional driver must meet the same age and license requirements as the primary renter. Some companies may also charge a daily or weekly fee for each additional driver.

Insurance: The rental company's insurance coverage typically applies to the primary renter and any authorized additional drivers. However, it's important to carefully review the rental agreement and understand the terms and conditions of the insurance coverage provided. You may want to consider purchasing additional insurance coverage for peace of mind.
