I think the CC has to be in the renter's name.

Do you go to school (college or university)? Credit card companies have promo all over campus, all the time. It's pretty hard to miss

Are you serious yuo don't know how to get one? Just go to your bank (i'm guessing u have a bank account??) and ask them you want one.

Heehee. This is all too funny. 23, not even a G, no credit history.
And NO insurance?
AND YOU WANT CHEAP?
Can't be done.

have your mom rent the car as the primary renter, and add you as an additional driver. there will be extra fees for the 2nd driver and you being under 25 (I think only National, Hertz, Thrifty and Budget allow this), but that's probably the best way to get around the problem. hmmm, but your license is only a G2....

Enterprise is the cheapest if you're under 25. I rented from them a few times when I was "underage". No idea about the "G2".

Looking for a good time, go UHAUL. Those guys rented me a 24' truck when I was 17 with a G2 and a debit card. They have some nice looking trucks they'd probably let you have for a weekend. Don't go too far in it though, their km charges are ridiculous.

This is probably your ONLY option. And by good time I hope you don't mean you're bringing a girl with you into a moving truck.. really.

You could deck out a moving truck pretty good over the course of a weekend. Throw a barbecue in there and something to sleep on, and head out to the lake somewhere (may want to put this one on hold for another month..). Girls love that stuff.
Edit: I'm originally from Northern Ontario though, so the girls I'm used to may be a little different than the GTA crowd. ;p

I rented a car from Thrifty twice when I had a G2 and under 25. Once was because I needed to get to this small town for a school assignment and the other was for my G road test. They charged me about $30 extra because I was under 25 but it was fine. I did have a credit card though.

Just comparing...
Just turned 18
G Licence (completed tests as soon as I could)
Insurance Coverage (since 16)
MBNA Platinum Credit Card (on its way)
Try rent-a-wreck, I qualified for rental.

The only reason why they want a CC is because they can hunt you down if you wreck the car or stole it.

look up liberty car rentals, 1 location in markham and 1 location at a holiday inn in toronto
$35 a day, have your mom come and put her visa (or you can use yours) and sign for the car, you can be added on as an additional driver regardless of age.
One renter must be > 25
additional can be any

check enterprise.ca
i think they have the cheapest car rates.
there was this three day weekend special for 9.99 PER day for a very basic car.

actually, hertz, budget, avis for sure wont rent to anybody under 25 primary or additional driver. Enterprise and Thrifty will rent under 25 for additional charge but not sure bout the G2 licence part.

The Rent-a-wreck location I used to rent a car to take my G2 exit test in :D :lol: would rent to anybody over 21 with a $1500 cash deposit (you'll get it back when you return the car, of course). If you're a student, they might cut you a break with slightly less.
