“I stepped up to the counter to pick up my car and they said, ‘You’re over 74, You can’t have a car,’” he said.
What he missed was in the fine print of Routes Car Rentals’ Rules and Restrictions page in Travelocity. In the “Merchant Rules” section, it notes an upper age limit of 74 years of age for local renters…
Used to be that they would allow under 25 to rent a car if it was job related travel. They didn’t want to piss of their business accounts who made them the most money… I don’t know if that is still the case.
I setup my membership account with the jobs travel information and discounts. Then I lied about the reason for the trip and paid for with my personal card.
Never had an issue after that.
