I'm told you have to be at least 21 to rent a car. I'll be frequently traveling to New York/California areas, would anyone know of any way whatsoever, I could aquire a car for a week's use. I could just drive but I live in Florida so I really wouldn't want to put all that mileage on my car. If not is there any way I could have someone older co-sign from afar?

Actually in many places it is 25 to rent a car. However, that can be waived if you are renting at a 'government rate' or with some corporate or assocaition rates (say, if you were a member of some travel club or something). But each agency differs on what they honor and who can rent a car, sometimes with different options in different states, and sometimes not even allowing you to take it across state lines. I think NY has very tough laws on renting cars because of the liability rules in NY.
You could always buy a clunker in NY or Cali and leave it there when you aren't travelling. Or try renting from a non-national brand (i.e. a local brand).

There are some companies that allow people 18 or older to rent, just none of the big name ones like Hertz, Avis, Dollar, National, ect... I heard Rent-a-Wreck has a lower age limit. Just search for no name car rental companies and you can probably find one that will rent to a 19 yo.

purchase a used car and put insurance on it. Sell it or donate it to charity when you go home.
