    NY city?  Renting a car is a huge WASTE of money in NYC.

    There are very valid reasons why car companies will not rent to people under 23-25 (varies, I think). Also,insurance on your own vehicle, if very young, are quite high.  My friend's DIL was in a terrible 3-car accident this week, when a 20-year -old driver fell asleep at the wheel of his car, and plowed into 2 others on the highway.  3 cars totaled.  Insurance statisticians will verify that more of these accidents - not to mention DUIs - happen among younger than older drivers.  YOU personally might be safe -but you are paying for the behavior of your peers.

    When my son (now 40) started teaching, his Union was able to offer a car insurance rate for those 21 to 25 that was much less than the open market.  This is because they had negotiated with a company who had their own actuarial staff run the numbers of TEACHERS (and a couple of other professions) at that age - and found them to be more responsible than the general population of that age.  Saved him thousand - to be in a Special Users Group.  But I have never heard of any for 18 years old.
