(And if you\u2019re under 21, then you can just about forget the chance of renting a car!)

Noting every location can charge its own fee, here\u2019s a breakdown we\u2019ve found of the usual age differential fee per day by company:<\/p>\n<p>Alamo: $25<\/p>\n<p>Budget: $27<\/p>\n<p>Dollar: $25<\/p>\n<p>Enterprise: $10<\/p>\n<p>Hertz: $15<\/p>\n<p>Thrifty: $25<\/p>\n<p>Well, we\u2019re sharing a special code with you to avoid the charge when renting with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hertz.com\/\">Hertz<\/a>. Young drivers aged 21 to 24 can hit the road with no young renter fee for a savings of up to $25 a day, depending on car class, when you make your reservation with <strong>PC# 148293<\/strong> on or before September 30, 2010.<\/p>\n<p>Happy car renting!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What\u2019s one of the biggest pains of traveling under the age of 25?
