Car rental for young drivers

Here at Getaround, we know that young drivers sometimes have a hard time finding a car rental company that will rent them a car. That’s why we offer car rentals for young drivers!
Who is considered a “young driver”? Can they legally rent a car?
Young drivers are defined as drivers between the ages of 16 and 25, but the legal age to rent a car varies per state in the United States. Some state regulations set car rental age at 18 and others at 25.
Of course, car rental companies must follow local laws, and they also have their own rules. Many companies adapt the rental price depending on the age of the renter and the vehicle category. That means a car rental company may charge an extra fee for young drivers.
Long story short, every car rental company has its own minimum age requirements for young drivers, and Getaround’s policy is flexible when compared to other companies.
