Rental Car for Drivers Test?



Brittany asks:


Is is ok to use a rental car for drivers test? I'm 17, but my parents will rent the car and will put me on as an additional driver. They're over 25. Our family vehicle is a truck and I don't want to take my test in a truck!









My Response:


Well, I wouldn't want to take a dmv test in a truck either!

But, I'm sorry, even if your parents are fully qualified to rent a car (valid drivers license, credit card, over 25), the car rental companies require that all additional drivers must meet the same requirements as a renter, and they have to complete and sign an additional driver form at the rental counter. Because you don't have a full, valid drivers license, you would not qualify as an additional driver, for any rental car company. I hope you find a solution to your dilemma!
