Automobiles are key to the transportation of people throughout the world. They also cause congestion problems on the roadways and can be dangerous if not driven properly. Automobiles must be taken care of; serviced when needed and should always have enough full in the tank in the event of inclement weather. People need automobiles wherever they go. So, when people travel across country it is helpful to be able to use a car, even if it isn’t their own. That is where car rental companies come into play. The car rental industry is a booming one within the United States and continues to grow as business travel grows.

Car rental companies can be found all across the country, easily in every major city, and sometimes even in the smallest of towns. Renting cars is a lucrative business. Car rentals are needed for travel involved with vacation or business and car rentals are needed when one puts their car in the shop and needs a rental to go about their business without missing a beat. There are a handful of car rental companies across the country that are nationwide companies and there are companies that operate only in certain areas.

There are four well known nationwide car rental companies. There are Hertz, Avis, Enterprise and Budget. Budget is more so known for its moving van and moving truck rentals than its car rentals. The most known moving truck rental company is U-Haul. U-Haul is the orange colored truck used by most people moving cross country or even just down the street to a new house. Their prices are reasonable and they also sell boxes and packing materials. U-Haul offices are a one stop shop for moving needs.

Cars can be rented for one day or for as much as a handful of weeks. Most car rental companies offer online reservations on their websites or reservations can also be made via phone. Most car companies charge a daily fee between $18-$25 for renting their vehicles. The prices vary depending on the make and model of the vehicle too. For example, renting a minivan will cost more per day than renting a compact or economy car.

Most car companies, like Hertz and Enterprise, have certain rules and regulations when it comes to how old a driver must be when renting a car. One of the most popular and known rules among car rental companies is that the driver of the rented vehicle must be 25 years or older. This has become an unpopular rule amongst drivers because states administer driver’s licenses to drivers who pass the test at ages as young as 16. Many people argue that since they already have a driver’s license they should be allowed to drive a rental car even though they are not 25 years old.

Car rental companies are usually located in large, bustling cities near an airport or even in the parking lot of an airport. They are also located across the country in small towns wherever cars are needed.
