Rental cars and being 19 years old?
Two days ago, I was in an accident that was the other drivers fault. The ticket was cited to him. My car is undrivable and I have full coverage up to $10,000 for my car insurance, and he also has insurance himself. now my question is... The legal age for someone to drive a rental car is 25 in FL. I am 19 years old. But because I have full coverage and pay $300 a month, shouldnt my insurance company cover my rental car as well? Shouldnt the rental company (enterprise) not be worried considering my insurance? I have a clean driving record and the only accidents I have ever been in were because of the other person.

If you live in the Orlando area you can use Action Car Rental. They rent to 18 plus drivers. Not sure about other areas of Florida, you will have to search around. I think all of the national chains require at least 21 or 25.

It's not any law that stops them from renting cars to teenagers, it's company policy. Rental companies know the reputation teens have for crashing into stuff, and they simply don't want that to happen to their vehicles.
It doesn't matter who is paying the bill for the rental, most of them don't want to rent to young drivers. They're a business, and they're allowed to decide who they will and won't do business with.
There is usually a rental company or two who will rent cars to teens. It won't be one of the big chains like Enterprise or Discount, but there's usually someone who will do it. You just have to find them.

Talk to your insurance agent. Enterprise is NOT the only car rental agency in the world, and you MAY be able to find one that WILL rent a car to you.
