littlemomva Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 I am looking to rent a car from 4/7/05 to 4/16/05 in Denver, Colorado, I can find some OK deals but I am only 22 so the Underage Surcharges are killing me... Most of the time it doubles my price... Is there anything I can do to lower those?Any Help would be appriciated!Thank You!! Link to comment
thereuare Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 I don't think there is much you can do about it unless you find an agency that charges substantially less for under 25 year old drivers.Unfortunatley it's a great risk for all agencies to rent to young drivers, so they're all likely to have upcharges for the addtional risk.

LoneStar Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 the only thing you can do is check each company, including the smaller ones. If you're employed by a large company, sometimes they have an agreement with a car rental agency to rent to their younger employees without a surcharge. Link to comment
spiffycalgal Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 Here's another code for Enterprise.Enterprise Corporate ID Number, 01A8037It's the corporate class code for Beta Gamma Sigma, an international business honor society. I've never been asked to show proof of affiliation. EDIT BY THEREUARE: The above socieity's discount code is 01A8037and you can use this board's link to Enterprise Rent a CarThe rates for cars are OK (I got a compact car at Sacramento Int'l Airport for $22/day for a Sunday-Tuesday rental. The rate is a little high compared to what folks might be able to bid for on Priceline, but Enterprise does not charge an underage (21-24) fee ($15/day) for young renters with this code. I tried bidding for a rental car on Priceline (I started at $15 for a compact and eventually went up to $35) but they wouldn't bite because my bid was "too low" considering the underage fee that rental car companies like to tag on, which range from $10-$30/day. It's strange that I couldn't get a car for less than $35 on Priceline because the clerk @ Enterprise told me they had over 100 cars on the lot that day that weren't being used. I hope this code is useful! Link to comment
