I need to rent a car from LAX. I am 21 and has no major credit card, will any company rent me a car?

I am going to LA for 3 days and I need to rent a car. I am 21, but has no major credit car. Will any car rentals rent me a car?

If my friend from southern California, who is 21 and has a major credit helps me rent a car. May I return the rental car by myself without my friend present at the car rental office?

If your bank debit card has a Visa or Mastercard logo, you can use that.

If your friend rents the car, they have to be listed as the main driver and you as additional driver (and you'll pay extra for two drivers). They need not be present when you return the car.

Maybe if you have the money in cash?
And your Drivers License

Sorry dude, gotta be 25 to rent a car

Enterprise will rent to you if you have a debit card with the deposit and rental amount available on your card. But you may have to call directly and find out-this was in Tx and the laws may be different in Cali. I would reccomend calling the 800 numbers to find out for sure.

you need a friend who has a credit card and is 25. but if you were 25 you would still need a card.

Give www.deluxerentacar.com a call - they can help you out for sure! They have great prices to boot.

be prepared to fork over an additional $25 per day because you are considered a RISK for being under 25.

you might want to look into public transit instead
as if you do have a bank debit card the car rental
agency would put a hold on your debit card (like perhaps
a 100 to $200.00 dollars hold on your carrd and if you have any checks
come in during that hold they will bounce..

Check with the rental place as most will not rent to anyone under 25 years old. They will also not accept cash, and will only take major credit cards. They will let your friend charge it for you..no problem...but not even sure they will rent to you in the first place due to your age.

Try Fox Rent-A-Car. They are lenient about rentals and are good and cheap.

Last time I was in LA I rented from Hertz. Because I'm under 25 it cost me about $200 to rent a car for 3 days, pay the $25 a day under 25 fee and for insurance. You will be forced to put down a $500 deposit as well. They would accept credit, debit, or cash. I used my debit card. I got the $500 credited back to my account in about 3 days after I returned the car. It defiantly sucked since that was $500 I planned to spend while in town and didn't get to spend while in LA. If that seems like a lot of money read on- if you're good on cash, hope this helped.



Honestly I made good use of public tranist and got where I wanted to go- the busses and underground metro were pretty easy to figuire out and I filled in the gaps with taxis. If I hadn't had a gig far from where I stayed I would have had no need for the rental car, but I also wasted allot of time getting places without it.

Good luck and have a good trip.
