Young Driver Surcharges
While drivers ages 21 to 24 may now rent at some of the national rental companies, in the vast majority of cases they still have to pay a daily surcharge that averages around $25 per day and can be as high as $50 per day.
At Phoenix Car Rental, there is no additional surcharge for renters 21 years of age and older. If you are between the ages of 18 and 21, there is an additional surcharge — please give us a call to learn more about pricing for this age group.
Why Rent with Us If You're Under 25
Rent as Young as 18
Most national chains require you to be 25. At Phoenix Car Rental, you may qualify to rent at 18 with a valid driver's license. We're one of the few rental companies in Phoenix that rents to drivers this young.
No Surcharge at 21+
If you're 21 or older, you pay the same rate as everyone else — no young driver surcharge. National chains typically charge $25 to $50 per day extra just for being under 25.
Cars, Vans & SUVs
Whether you're traveling alone, with family, or transporting a group, we have a car, van, or SUV rental that will work. Our fleet is available to qualified drivers of all ages.

Frequently Asked Questions
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Arizona?
At Phoenix Car Rental, you may qualify to rent a car, van, or SUV if you are 18 or older with a valid driver's license. Most major rental companies in Arizona require you to be at least 25 years old, but we are one of the few that rents to drivers as young as 18.
Can I rent a car under 25 in Phoenix?
Yes. Phoenix Car Rental rents to qualified drivers 18 and older. If you're between 21 and 24, there's no additional surcharge. If you're between 18 and 20, there is a surcharge — call us for details on pricing. Either way, we make it much easier for young drivers to rent than most national chains.
Is there a young driver surcharge?

What do I need to rent a car if I'm under 25?
You'll need a current, valid driver's license and a valid form of payment (we accept credit cards, debit cards, and cash). The same requirements apply whether you're under 25 or over 25 — the only difference is the potential surcharge for renters under 21.
