Do you know of any rental car places that rent out cars to 18-year-olds?

Although the major car rental companies do not rent to 18 year olds, there are a few smaller rental agencies that will but their locations are limited. Here's one of them:

There is one located in Honolulu in the Waikiki district that will rent to 18's and over, they are located at Kuhio/Seaside but I don't remember the name of the company. They advertise in This Week, a booklet which all tourists will see, they have them in the hotels and on street corners.





Enterprise will rent to Stanford University students in a special program.





National Highway (NHTSA) statistics and those maintained by the auto insurance industry provide ample reasons for this policy as the annual rate of deaths/injuries in the 18 to 25 age group is dramatically higher than age groups above those, in fact, we lose nearly 5X as many people in one year than all of the military deaths in the Iraq War.Do you know of any rental car places that rent out cars to 18-year-olds?
I have never heard of anyone that rents to anyone under 21 +. Even when you are 21 - 25 you need to pay a daily premium that is non-refundable in order to rent a car. Plus not all car companies will even do this.





Under 25 is considered a liability of renting a car, thus the 21 - 25 premium. Under 21 I would have to say you will not find a car company willing to rent you one, sorry. Unfortunately you aren't even able to be added as a driver say if someone 21 + rented it.Do you know of any rental car places that rent out cars to 18-year-olds?
Maybe Rent-a-Wreck. ~
Carolina Rent-A-Car in Charlotte, NC. Which I did and you have to put a bigger deposit than normal to rent it.
