Rental car company recommendations, especially ones that will rent to a 23 year old??

Question

I'm 23 and plan on driving home for Thanksgiving (San Francisco-Seattle). I don't own a car and I'm not covered by insurance. Most companies tack on an "Underage" fee. They also don't offer unlimited miles. I need to do 1650 miles roundtrip and plan on having the car for 5 days. I also need insurance. Could you recommend a company? I don't have much money so I've been searching online for the best deal...I can't find one! I tried autodriveaway.com but they have no cars available. Thank you!

You are "underage" until you are 25. They charge a fee for all people under 25, usually around $30 a day. It stinks! Supposedly we are the most likely to get into car accidents, joy riding and whatnot. Tell that to my family who just wants me home for the holiday!

Answer 1

At 23 you shouldn't be considered underage. Most companies will rent to anyone over 21 but you do have to have a credit card or put down a cash deposit. You can purchase insurance from the rental car company. Enterprise is a good company.
