Are there age requirements for renting?
Budget Rent A Car in Alaska (Budget), like most car rental companies, requires drivers in Alaska to be 25 years of age or older. However, Budget permits a minimum age of 21 with an applicable surcharge. Age requirements, restricted vehicle types, and surcharges vary by location. Government employees over the age of 18 traveling on government orders in the U.S. may rent from Budget without a surcharge. With some company accounts, employees 21 years of age and older traveling on business also may rent from Budget without a surcharge. Check with your account representative to see if your company account is eligible. An additional $15 per day fee applies for renters under 25 years of age. This fee is in addition to your quoted online rate.
To offer our services to more customers, U.S. Budget corporate-owned locations recently lowered the minimum rental age to 21 years old in almost all states. Exceptions include all locations in Connecticut, Iowa, Idaho and Washington, D.C., and select locations in New Jersey. Budget locations in New York State will continue to observe a minimum age of 18 with a $115 daily surcharge.
