![]() | If you're under 21 years of age… Zipcar restricts the set of cars that are available to you. You can't choose an arbitrary car from an arbitrary location; they'll present you with a set of cars for which you are eligible. If you try to choose a car outside that set, you'll be presented with an error message explaining that you are too young to rent from that location. |
