I've always wondered... Part 2 haha

 I've also always wondered..  I'm a student but is there honestly a difference in applying as a student and applying as employed? 

[Anonymous]

i think so.... im a student but i have a full time job and therefore i dont use the student option.

i also wonder if it rent, own or other affects too! ?

Probably, and for the same reason you can't even rent a car until you are 25. Students are likely viewed as riskier.

True that

[Anonymous]

false that. you can rent a car younger than 25

[astrangerwcandy]

If you want to pay significantly more money yes. That's to offset the riskiness of youth

I always thought under 25 rentals aren't a deposit, rather an additional pre-day fee added to the daily fee, usually $25-30 per day fee. I know for sure that's hertz, Avis,budget, and enterprise's policies. Might be different for other companies that just require a refundable deposit.

The rent/own option just plays into they DTI ratio. Every CCC has a magic number (%) where housing plus all minimum pays of credit accounts cannot be more than 30% of your gross income (just an example). But from my experience, 30% seems to be the average DTI.

There are coupon codes available for those under 25.

I always used them, no problem. Of course I've always had comprehensive auto coverage, too.
