Where can I find a Schenectady car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the car rental companies that operate in Schenectady. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you’ve found a place that does cater to drivers under 25, take note that extra costs may apply. Conduct some research into any extra charges before collecting the vehicle.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Schenectady?
A thorough insurance plan is a smart idea for your upcoming Schenectady escape. That’s why we recommend choosing collision protection while reserving your car rental with Expedia. This covers your vehicle from theft, accident damage and vandalism. Some destinations may require a minimum level of liability insurance. This may already be included in your rental cost or your personal auto insurance, so check what you’re covered for.
