It is math-based and makes sense. We don't need any English soccer hooligans drinking warm beer and driving on the freeways.

But I have no kids. I was 39 when I took my trip. It was my second time renting a car. Car rental companies not wanting to rent to people under 25 is fear-based and nonsensical.
"Fear based and nonsensical" That's rich! Want too see fear based and nonsensical, read your own posts on your Mexico thread!

Loadings for under 25 year olds represent the actuarial, risk based analysis of the statistics over many years which Cleary demonstrate a much higher incidence of RTAs involving under 25s. In much the same way , many companies will load rate for over 75 year old.

All for of irrelevant as far as this thread is concerned as I have already stated several times, our nieces will stick with public transport and Uber.

actuarial science is cool stuff

>> will stick with public transport and Uber
