Just the other days I was talking to my grandmother who told me she wanted to rent a car on her vacation in Florida. Nothing wrong with that right? But then she told me the problem is she can't rent a car because of her old age. I didn't believe her, so I had find out for myself.
According to SmartMotorist.com, the number of elderly drivers (persons 70 & over) is predicted to triple in the United States, in the next 20 years.
Here's the scoop with some local car rental companies.
Budget:
As long as you have a valid driver's license as well as a credit
card... cha ch$ng!
No age limit for renting cars
Hertz:
As long as you have a valid driver's license as well as a credit card.
There is no age limit.
Avis:
As long as you have a valid driver's license as well as a credit card.
There is no age limit.
Alamo:
Restrictions- You need to have a valid driver's license and be 25-99
years-of age to rent. As well as hold a credit card.
(877) 222-9075
Enterprise:

Some countries do have laws regarding the maximum age for rental cars
drivers. Bur overall, car rental companies are more apt to rent to a
senior citizen than to someone who is under 25. For the most part,
age is only a factor is you are younger than 25. Make sure with your
car rental company before you make a reservation. Also, keep in mind
that senior citizens can usually get discounts for their age. :)
