Trusted with a passenger jet. Apparently questionable with a Corolla?
Just here to vent and see if any other young FOs have run into this.
I’m 23 and trying to figure out a backup plan for getting home if my commute falls apart. Renting a car seems to involve limited availability, young-driver fees, and potentially a $50 Uber just to reach a location that has something available vs being able to rent from the airport directly.
I have USAA insurance, no accidents, and no traffic violations. I can fly a plane full of passengers, but apparently Hertz needs extra reassurance that their Kia will come back with all four wheels attached.
I’m trying to get home, not qualify for NASCAR.
Any other FOs under 25 found a reasonably painless way to rent a car, preferably without the “you haven’t had enough birthdays” surcharge?
