At National locations in the US, the primary renter must be 25, or for select corporate contracts and international tour accounts, the minimum age is 21. Additional drivers must meet the same eligibility requirements as the primary driver. All drivers must show a valid driver's license at the time of rental. Rental rates may be higher for renters aged 21 to 24. An additional daily surcharge may apply in most locations for all drivers who do not meet the age requirements. Certain specialty and larger sized vehicles may not be rented to younger drivers. Some locations maintain maximum age limits. National reserves the right to refuse rental of a vehicle if the renter demonstrates inability to handle road rules and conditions. 18 years of age is the minimum for military or government personnel traveling on official orders under government rates. Minimum age for government or military leisure travel is 21 years old, and rates may be higher for those under age 25. Minimum and maximum rental age and other restrictions vary internationally from country to country.
