USA Car Hire

We are visiting California in May and I wanted to be an additional driver on our hired car rather than have hubby do all the driving. Anyone know if there is likely to be any extra cost (other than the initial add. driver payment) with me having MS?

Thanks in advance

You don't need to tell a rental agency here that you have MS.  Be sure to bring proof of insurance and your drivers' license (for both of you!).  You might call the rental company and double check what other paperwork is needed.

Caution - many of the car rental companies charge extra money for a second driver.  It is a silly policy and a way they can make more money.  

We have traveled a bit and find that ENTERPRISE rental has consistenly the best rates and they do not charge for the additional driver.

Get a rental with unlimited mileage because California is a BIG state with lots to see both north and south.

Do you have a reason to come over or are you just being a tourist on holiday?

be well, Lulu

Thanks for that, We have hired cars there before, we come out every two years or so as my sister lives there. This visit is for my nephews wedding. Thanks for the tip re Enterprise, hubby is just looking at prices just now so I have told hime to check there. Unlimited mileage is always a neccessity for us, my sister lives in Bakersfield, the wedding is in San Diego, usual side trip to Las Vegas and if we have time (I doubt it) my Aunt lives in the Napa Valley though she will be at the wedding so it wont be essential to go there this trip!!
