How old are you?

Some car rental companies have 25-year-old age limitations...

They stopped having that limitation. They just charge you extra every day

i believe if you are under 21 you need your own insurance to cover the vehicle that you will drive... so if you dont have somekind of coverage they wont let you..
also being under 25 is just $20 extra a day or something from enterprise.
there is a way you can get a insruance rate but i think it might bring out some problems when they found out.. nvr tried it...

Check your credit cards. I know all of mine give me liability when I rent and use my card.

check with your insurance as well..sometimes they have deals with rentals companies and if you mention your insurance, the rate would be at a decent discount.

thanks guys for the input! I will definitely check with my insurance and credit card companies.

I'm 23 btw, but the last few times I've rented, those fees were waived.

If anyone knows someone who works at a Enterprise/Hertz/Budget, please let me know!

Legitimately, ERAC, Hertz and etc can only offer discounted insurance rates for open insurance claims. Most of the time the rental companies will offer a good discounted rate or if you're an AAA member.

Some Enterprise locations have clauses where you can only drive the vehicle within state lines of California. Since Vegas is in another state, I would double check with them if their cars are okay to go out of state.

We do alot of business with Enterprise at Jamboree/Edinger (Irvine Center Dr). They give all of our clients $30 a day(there are probably better rates out there, I am not sure). If you are under 25 they will probably try and charge you extra, but I've gotten it waived before. PM me if you want me to help you get that setup.
