TORONTO — Dollar and Thrifty, both part of the Hertz Corporation, have announced that they are lowering the minimum age to rent a car in Canada and the United States.
The minimum age has been lowered from 21 to 20 years old in both countries. However, in Michigan, New York and Quebec, the minimum age will remain at 18 years old for both brands as required by law.
“Providing our customers with practical solutions is a top priority across all our brands,” said Paul Stone, chief retail operations officer at Hertz. “Lowering the minimum age requirement at our Dollar and Thrifty locations will give more customers the opportunity to rent a vehicle while creating a new generation of customers who appreciate Dollar and Thrifty values.”
Susan Jacobs, senior vice president, Dollar and Thrifty Brands, added: “Now, even more customers will be able to experience our Dollar and Thrifty brands when travelling. From families taking vacations to students entering college, these customers can now look to both brands to help them get where they’re going, exceeding their expectations along the way.”
