I know Priceline requests an age at time of bidding, but do you know if there is an additional charge for drivers 21 years of age? If we have a successful bid, I just don't want my daughter to have any surprises, (extra costs) at the airport.

Any information you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Current at time of posting for the PRICELINE website:

Minimum Age Requirements

Priceline.com offers car rentals to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24 years old in select locations. Rentals for drivers between the ages of 18 and 20 are available in New York only. Enter the details of your trip and we'll tell you if we can fulfill your request.

Rental companies charge renters under the age of 25 Young Renter Fees. These fees typically start at $20 per day and can be as much as $50 per day for high cost locations or more desirable car types. For example, a rental car that normally costs $30 per day could cost an underage driver at least $50 per day.

With priceline.com, you should include these additional fees in your offer price. If your request is accepted, you will not be charged any additional Young Renter Fees at the rental counter.
