    so im 19 so most internet sites i go onto say i cant rent a car from them.

    anyone know of any companys that will? or let me get insurance... ( in my insurance policy it says i wont be insured if its a hired car ( 3rd party on any car i drive)
    maybe if i tell them maybe ( my insurance company that is) that im renting a car will they allow it?

    also it would help if they are in belgium and can be left off in spain!

    I don't think you have any chance of getting a rental at 19 I'm afraid. Most companies have a lower age limit of 21 or 23 on the continent, and even then will charge you extra for being under 25. I had to pay over 100 euros extra for 5 days car hire with Hertz in Switzerland a couple of months ago. I'm 24 :mad:

    21 seems to be the minimum age to be honest. Some places have an extra charge for under 25's too, as mentioned above.

    They're not a car hire company themselves, although they'd like you to think they are, but a broker between yourself and a bunch of other car hire companies, who'll pretty much have the same T&C across Europe, i.e. minimum age 21.
