Buy a car? It’s definitely cheaper than $7m. I will sell you mine for $1m.

If you book through corporate leisure portal, the under 25 fees are typically waived.

Yeah how did rentals get so expensive? They used to be like $18 a day all in; now it’s like $45, after corporate discounts.

This is not the best advice but when I was 23, I went to SF for a weekend and couldnt find any discounts that would eliminate the underage fee but i called up an exotics car rental place and negotiated price and for them not to charge the underage fee.... ended up paying the same total price for a porsche instead of the avis/hertz car... before that i had always used the usaa code which avoided the underage fees.

USAA was clutch! Too bad they changed that

like

Hertz will waive the underage fee if you use some corporate codes or the Five Star (their loyalty program) code

like

LGA hertz will not waive underage fee if you have five star or presidents circle (and/or use the five star/presidents circle codes) , but Ive had luck at some other locations

Silvercar is the best car rental I've ever used. Only Audis, all cars got free internet. No underage fee. If you have a visa infinite card like CSR, you can use code VISAINF20 for 20% off every time, or if it's your first time you can use FIRST20 for 20% off, or create a business account for 15% off every rental.

If you use my referral OZLBGSUM, you get $25 flat off your rental, I think it can combo off a FIRST20 but maybe not VISAINF20

Cars are 45-85 a day (before codes) depending on location, I rent it over Hertz @ EWR every time esp because that's one of the airports they service at. Some airports like IAD, the staff will pick you up at the arrivals

I decline the collision but pay them $15 for liability

Zipcar. Some of the firms have discounted rates for them.

OP use your companies corporate code to book and that'll wave all young renter fees. Note I said use their code not book through their portal. I believe PwCs is 54700

Enterprise has never had underage fees

You can find cars on FB marketplace for like $800
