At corporate-owned locations in New York State, the minimum rental age is 18 with a valid, acceptable credit card and driver's license, and a $115 surcharge per day for renters
18-24 years old.

A customer involved in an Insurance Replacement from one of the following companies may rent at the minimum age of 18: State Farm, American Family, Progressive, Travelers, CCRG Claims, Allstate, and Bristol-Myers Squibb.
