Under 25 Car Rental Barrie

It’s funny when you think about it that if you’re under 25 years old, some car rental Barrie agencies are hesitant to offer car rentals for people under 25 years old.  It kind of begs the question, why do you have a license and are allowed to drive on the streets but can’t really rent a car from most car rental agencies.  It can be a tough predicament especially if your car is in the shop being repaired and you need a replacement vehicle.  Also, if you’re traveling in a different country such as Canada on a trip and you can’t rent your own vehicle, you will be forced to take mass transportation while on your trip, which can take the fun out of it.

Now, if you’re really decided on finding car rental Barrie agencies that offer car rentals for under 25-year old drivers, you have a few options.  First, it’s a possibility that the major car rental agencies aren’t offering such policies.  If they are, you can expect that they’ll be putting an additional daily surcharge for the car rental in Barrie, which can range from as low as EUR15 to as high as EUR100 depending on the location where you’re renting the car.  Aside from that, you can’t take advantage of the usual promotions being offered on the website which means you won’t get any savings at all from that end.  It seems that car rentals for under 25 is bound to be expensive.

If you’re looking forward to renting prestigious cars in Barrie when you go to the car rental agency, you may be in for a disappointment.  Barrie car rentals for under 25 years have restrictions on the type of cars that are being rented out.  Most car rental agencies will not let you drive away with the luxury cars and the sports cars that are worth a lot of money.  You may settle for the sedans, from the economy to the full-size, and not much else.  Again, the daily surcharge rate also has an impact on the car type that you’re renting so if you do not have the budget to spare, your choices may become a little limited.

Another requirement for car rentals under 25 is full coverage of Liability and Collision insurance.  The reasoning is that drivers under 25 years old are not as experienced as their older counterparts so will have a higher tendency to be involved in mishaps and accidents which will not bode well for either driver or car rental agency.  The full coverage requirement is just a precautionary measure for both parties in case of emergencies.

If you’re still decided on car rentals Barrie and you are under 25 years old, you need to prepare the budget for it because it will really cost you.  The longer that you rent, the higher your expenses will be.  Consider if you’re not going in over your head and decide if it’s better to just brave public transportation instead of driving your own rental car.  Better yet, why don’t you just borrow your parents’ car or a friend’s car if you really need it that badly?
