How old is old enough?

Tell that to insurance companies.

Maybe what I'm trying to say is that they should look a bit further than the age of a person to determine how responsible he/she is.

Yes, rental car companies are going to require driving tests of all their customers to see exactly how they will treat the rental car under every circumstance. That's ludicrous.

My friend got a rental car when he was 20 because his other car was in the shop and he was allowed to rent through his insurance company. He's a fine driver, and would easily pass for responsible, but since it was just a rental car he drove the **** out of it, went and did donuts and other things to it.

So how, praytell, do you think a company should determine maturity of its customers? Keep in mind that they still have a business to run and customer service to consider.

Age isn't the absolute indicator of maturity.

Of course it's not; nobody's ever suggested otherwise!

It IS, however, the best way to draw the line, and until you can come up with a better, realistic way, you're spinning your wheels.
