Can you rent a car at 21? The age for most companies used to be higher, but I have no reason to keep track of such things.

There are a number of small rental companies just off the strip that generally have better rates than Hertz/Avis/etc. They all advertise in the free tourist guides that you find at the airport, hotels, etc. Also check the online LV tourist guide. I'm sure they have some info about car rentals.

Go to cheapovegas.com On the left hand side will be a rental car link. I have gotten a convertible for $19 a day through that site.

Other than the major national brands, if you give them a big enough deposit, provide them with lots of information well in advance, pay a higher rate, and probably buy their overpriced insurance, they may rent a car to under 25.

I needed a car for a 21-year-old once for a month and Enterprise would have rented it in her name if I bought their insurance, but I put the contract in my name with her as additional driver and saved a fortune.

I think places like Rent-A-Wreck and clones are even more liberal.

Budget will certainly let you rent a compact car if you are 21. So will dollar. They do differ by states though
