So My husband and I are going to Florida on vacation. We plan on flying into Orlando.
We are not 25 just yet and can't find a place that rents out vehicles unless you are 25! (Annoying thing is we both have perfect driving records.)
We don't want to drive because this was supposed to a be a relaxing trip and it's a very very long ride.
Is there anything we can do? Is there any car rental places that we have missed. Please don't sugest cabs and buses we want to go through more than just Orlando on our timing, and if that's not possible then we don't want to waist our money and not see much of the state.
Any suggestions, or are we just SOL?
Thanks a bunch!

It is difficult to rent a car if you're under 25. However, some rental agencies will allow one to rent a car if you're under 25, providing that you pay an additional daily surcharge. For most agencies/states, the minimum age is 21, while a few may go as low as 18. If you can rent through an employer/group plan, you may also be able to rent. If you are on official military orders, you can probably rent if over 18, but if you're just on leisure travel/leave the usual rules typically apply.
http://www.bnm.com/uage.htm a good site to help you find such agencies and compare the surcharge rates in major cities, as is http://www.autorentalguide.com/car-rentals-under-25.shtml
