| I think it may vary state to state but people younger than 25 can rent cars in many places these days. I think a credit card with a limit of maybe $500 to start is a good idea. It's also good to have it in the student's name and not just an extra card for them on your account. Have them make small purchases and pay the bill off in full each month. It's a good way to build a solid credit rating. Our two older girls have done this with no problem and D3 will do the same when she goes off to college in the fall. Emergencies do arise and a credit card may ease the unanticipated situation. |
