Cheap car rental for under 25 in Las Vegas?

admin — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 00:24:32 +0000

I will be in Las Vegas for one week… I'm only 22 and so far have found that all the reputable car rental companies want to charge me an extra $175 just because I'm not 25 - which, by the way, that ($175) is more than what the cost to rent to car for a week is!!!! Any suggestions, coupon/ discount codes, etc? Thanks!!

What is the minimum age to rent a car in Melbourne?

Also can you rent a car if you have your Ps and not a full license?
I'm talking about Melbourne, Australia not Melbourne, Florida just to let you know.

I have been asked a question like this before and after a lot of research I found that most companies will lease to a under 25 year old driver, but at a higher insurance charge.

This is also a minimum age of 21 and a full driver's license required.

They do not hire to P platers, I suggest borrowing or leasing a car from a friend or family member. Write up a contract and state you will cover any expenses relating to your 'hiring' of their vehicle. I.e. you stack it you will pay to fix it.

I would try and find a friend that has insurance that would cover you, even if the excess is over $1,000. Many insurance companies these days put barriers on under 30, 35 or 40 drivers.

Take the car to a mechanic and check it our first, you don't want to be conned into paying for a new gear box if it breaks while you're away if it is already stuffed.

Make sure you have an agreement, signed by both people and preferably witnessed.

What is the best car rental company for someone under 25?

admin — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 00:24:21 +0000

I am planning a trip out to Southern California to drive the Pacific Coast highway to Monterrey and back, only most car rental companies I have found charge huge fees just for being under 25. Does anyone know of a company that does not charge these fees? Thanks!

All car rental companies charge underage fees for renters under 25. They average around $25-$30 a day. Enterprise does seem to have the lowest underage fees, starting around $10 a day and up to $25 per day, depending on the city you're renting in. I would definitely check with Enterprise first!

Hope this helps!

Who do I hire a car from in Bucharest?

Can anyone recommend a car hire Company who can hire me a car on 23 May 2009 for 1 week. We will be driving to Sunny Beach near Varna in Bulgaria. I have tried the obvious Companies on the internet but so far have 1 expensive offer.

Have you tried Auto Europe? They are generally pretty reasonable and give a few options for pick up, drop off etc.
Good luck and have a great time

how much would it cost for two 18yr. old guys who just finished high school to travel to Australia?

admin — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 23:37:19 +0000

The eastern coast of Australia and we are from Sacramento California in the US.
Like airfare? And basic living?
this would be for about 2 weeks, maybe longer.

Well that is hard to say you would have to check with the airlines in your country. The way the oil price keeps going up who knows but I would take a guess of at least $2,000 each return. Best thing to do is work out when you want to visit then search for the best deal and pay for the tickets as soon as you can as it locks in the price even if you don't use them for a couple of months or so. As far as I know most airlines have a twelve months policy on use of the tickets so buy them now and use them later. Ask for any conditions etc before you buy. Basic living it depends on what you class as basic I think Australians have a better lifestyle than most countries and cost of living is reasonable compared to others although again with the price of oil everything keeps going up.

Before you buy your travel tickets I would suggest that you plan your holiday first. Work out what you want to do in Australia eg work and travel or just party from one spot to the other. You have to apply for the appropriate visa according to what you want to do as there are conditions placed on visas that will restrict from you working if you come over on the wrong visa.

Do your homework and you should have a great time as Australia is a great place to visit with many things to see and do.

Is there an ultra-cheap car rental agency?

admin — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 23:36:39 +0000

I've rented at Hertz, Avis … even Rent a Wreck, they're all about $80 to $120 for a weekend. Anyone heard of a place that will rent for like $30 a weekend … even if there's a gimmick (like they put ads on the car or something).

You can rent a cargo van at Rent a wreck for 15 bucks a day plus mileage. Or try a compact car.

Go to the rental companies website, they have specials that might fit your needs. I got a mini van for two days at Dollar.com for 90 bucks after the promo special. Best I've seen online. but, the catch is they don't have many pick up places and you have to bring it to the same place

ADD ON:
Here's what Enterprise has for a Chevy Aveo

3 Days @
Special $ 18.04 USD $ 54.12 USD
DOMESTIC SECURITY FEE $ 15.00 USD
Subtotal $ 69.12 USD
SALES TAX $ 3.79 USD

Unlimited Mileage East of the Mississippi River/ West is 200 miles a day.

*Total Estimated Charges $ 72.91 USD

This is in NJ…….Not a bad deal if you ask me
