How do I rent a nice car for prom?

I want to rent a Mercedes to drive my friends to prom. How do I rent a nice car?

Matthew Macgugan · Updated on Nov 1, 2021

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.

Such an exciting part of high school! You likely won’t meet the age requirement to rent a car on your own, but you can have an older friend or family member rent it for you and drive you all there.

Renters are generally required to be 21 years old and above, though some states allow 18-year-olds to rent cars as long as they pay the hefty young driver fees.

Make sure you or the renter is also familiar with

rental car insurance

, which is usually covered by their existing auto insurance policy, though they may still want to pay for more coverage. A loss damage waiver (LDW) can remove liability for damages to the vehicle but will increase the rental price by a bit.

If you or your private chauffeur for the evening is looking for a new car insurance policy with good coverage for rental cars, without breaking the bank, tell them to download

. The

app generates quotes from top providers so they can find a great rate.

Enjoy your prom!
