Young travelers gain access to car rentals
Avis and Budget lower minimum rental age to 21 in most states, charging a $25 daily young drivers fee for ages 21 to 24. Iowa, Idaho, Connecticut, and Washington D C keep the 25-year rule due to liability laws. Hertz keeps 25 but may change. New York allows 18-year-olds with different rates. University of Iowa student Lindsey Sadler advocates further cuts.
