Hey Coloradans --I'm thinkng about a week's vacation out there in July...looking to rent a car (obviously) from the airport, but need to locate a rental agency that rents to under 25. Can anyone in the Boulder/Denver area provide some insight? Thanks!!!

i don't believe hertz will rent to under 25. when i was looking to purchase my cougar in 00 i ran into that at the counter. they had them for rent and i was going to rent one for a couple days to make sure that's what i wanted. plus, 2 wks ago when i flew to kenai/soldotna on a buz trip, the other salesguy is only 21. we had to find a place that will rent a car to him. try payless car rental. it's a natl co, lower rates and they only charge like $5-10 more/day for under 25. the other co's will only rent to under 25 if the company you work for has a corp agreement.

When I lived in MA, most any place would rent to under 25. I'm hoping a Colorado resident on here may be able to tell me now, since my trip is more or less dependent on it.

really? my dad had to drag me out of the hertz place because i was red in the face and was about to jump over the counter to strangle the guy. i had called for 2 wks prior until they got one for me! called every hour too! so i was pretty pissed they neglected to tell me the age restrictions when i booked. i asked too!

Hey Raging... I checked out National's website and they say the age restriction is 21 in most locations, with some places requiring you be 25. Unfortunately it doesn't say which states!
