Call ahead. Increasingly, many Budget Rent-a-Car locations are starting to rent to 18-year-olds, and in the state of New York, state law requires that anyone aged 18 and older be able to rent a car. If you're reserving the car online, read the local policies for each branch. Another good company is Enterprise, which charges lower underage fees than other companies ($0-15 instead of $25 like most others), but I think they might require you to be 21. Try neighborhood locations instead of the airport, which are more willing to rent to younger driviers and are less likely to charge underage fees. All I can say is call each rental location you can think of in the city you're going, and chances are someone will give you a car. Just watch out for that underage fee. Remember also that in most cases you're going to need a credit card or pay a deposit to secure the car, usually at least $300. If you have full coverage insurance, you might be able to rent from Toyota Rent-a-Car at a local dealership, depending on the dealership's policies. If none of these options works for you, or if it's going to be too expensive otherwise, take public transit instead if you can.

The only solution is to get somebody who is 21 to rent it in their name for you. Car rental companies will not rent a car to someone under 21. You also have to have a credit card.

21? some places require you to be at least 25 to rent a car. Your best bet is to call around and see. If you are in the USA, try rent-a-wreck. sometimes you can get lucky.

My business partner who was 18 at the time was involved in an accident, and he used his insurance to get a rental car.
I believe you must have full coverage insurance before they will rent you the car -- but that is only a guess.

Most rental agencies require that you be at least 25. Call around, and maybe you can find a small private company that will rent to you. You may also check with your insurance agent to see if they have any arrangements with rental companies,

You should be able to rent a car at 18 with a valid credit card.
