Rental Cars Underage Driver Promotion: who are underage drivers?

Due to government restrictions, you have to be 18 years old to rent a car. However, due to safety and liability reasons most car rental companies will not rent cars to drivers under 25. Fox Rent A Car’s policy is a little more flexible. Drivers between 18 and 24 years old can rent cars but they are subject to an underage fee of $20 per day.

Rental Cars Underage Driver Promotion: Get $5 off on Underage Fee

Fox Rent A Car is offering a great new promotion: the underage special! From today until May 31st, 2010, underage drivers will receive, $ 5 off each day on the underage fee on their car rentals.

This promotion is valid for rental car reservations made online in all Fox Rent A Car corporate locations. Just print the coupon below and present it at the desk when picking up your car rental.
This promotion is not available between the 21st to the 24th of May.

Don’t wait! Reserve your rental car today and save even more on your car rental! At Fox Rent A Car we care about younger drivers and want to help them save for a better cheaper rental experience.

Our new promotion is here: Fox Rent A Car wants to celebrate Earth Day with you and will give you a whooping 15 % off on all Hybrid Rentals with Fox Rent A Car for this special day!

History of Earth Day:

Earth Day is celebrated on 22nd April this year. The day was coined by Senator Gaylord Nelson with the first Earth Day being celebrated on 22nd April 1970. This year, we celebrate the 40th anniversary of Earth Day and it has become far more than an effort to bring the environmental concerns into the political limelight as it was 40 years back. Today Earth Day is a day where we remember to make the Earth a better, cleaner and safer place to stay for everyone. More than 500 million people across 164 countries celebrate this day in more ways than one.
Children are encouraged to take on environmental projects and make a difference to the Earth on this day. There are demonstrators that put across their point peacefully to make sure that some of the pressing needs of the environment are noticed and acted upon. People plant trees to ensure a greener environment and start projects that involve the use of renewable energy. Families cook Earth Day meals and teach others about the benefits of recycling and reusing.

Celebrate Earth Day with Fox Hybrid Rental Cars for 15 % less!

Fox Rent A Car is also making its contribution to the Earth Day this year by announcing a 15 percent discount on Hybrid Rental Cars. A car that works on two engines, the hybrid gives better mileage for less gas consumption, thereby reducing the use of non renewable energy like petroleum. One engine of the Hybrid Rental Cars uses regular gas while the other uses electricity. The dual engine ensures that there are lower emissions while ensuring adequate power and better fuel efficiency.

Fox Rent A Car’s Hybrid Rental Car option: Honda Insight

With the Honda Insight Fox Rent A Car gives you the option to choose an environmentally friendly rental car for your trip. With an elegant style and 5 person seat capacity, these hybrid rental cars offered by Fox Rent A Car are spacious too. Fox Rent A Car is one car rental company that cares about the environment and therefore promotes renting the hybrid option, especially on the Earth Day when you should be making sure that you participate in the celebration.
With comfort that is as good (if not better) than a large number of other cars and fuel efficiency that cannot be matched, hybrid rental cars are an easy way for you to contribute to the environment while getting a great 15 percent discount on the rental car bill, not to mention the fuel costs that you save.

- The Yakima 8003070 ski rack is great if you have 4 sets of skis. However, if you are hungry for powder and travel with your powder skis (also refer as alpine fat skis) or freestyle skis (such as Scratch), you will only be able to fit 2 sets, as they are much larger than basic skis. If you prefer snowboarding, then be aware that only 2 boards will fit on this rack. Also, this ski rack only fits cars with the cross bars on the roof. The one going from side to side, door-to-door bars. This ski rack model will fit with our Chevy Tahoe.

This ski rack will fit on the Hyundai Elentra, Ford Focus, PT Cruiser and Charger 300. This rack holds 2 sets of skis or one snowboard. The great thing about this rack is that you can actually fit 2 rack on one roof, so you can hold as many as 4 sets of ski or 2 boards. However, be aware that you will be charged the rental fee for 2 racks.
- The Thule 5401 ski rack is adapted for cars with vertical bars (from the windshield to the trunk). They fit cars such as the Patriot, the Compass and our mini vans. This rack can hold up to 6 pairs of skis or 4 snowboards, unless you have powder skis, then only 4 sets of skis will fit.
