Rules for an Additional Driver :
The age of additional drivers should be at least 25 years. Age of the renter does not make any difference but the age of the additional driver should be 25 years or more than that. Some agencies allow to drive by the employees of the same company as part of corporate discount perks in case the rental is for a valid business and also if the company has previously come to an agreement for underage drivers as well as extra drivers. (For example, Microsoft had driving privileges in the age group of 18 and above for all the renters as well as drivers for Microsoft sponsored business.)
A relatively clean driving record is necessary for you to rent a car. This also applies to an extra driver, and the agencies may run a review of any driver's record. The well-known car-rental company, Avis, outsources this part of the application process to a third party. The agencies electronically scan your driving record to find details for comparison against criteria they have set up. Any additional driver should be declared and the required paperwork should be properly filled out. Nearly all agencies ask for a payment (approx. $15-25) from the additional driver(s). If you have an additional driver(s), that are not declared, it is considered a violation of the rental agreement and any damage or claim will not be paid by the insurance company. The company you work for, or the purpose of your trip are some examples of significant factors which may apply to you in the legal driver scenario.
A lot of companies allow employees who are going on a business trip to drive without paying extra fees or incurring additional paperwork. However, the company must pay for the rental car. Should damages or an accident occur, this proves that the rental car was booked for business purposes, which confirms that the contract was not violated.
Many companies allow spouses to take the vehicle without asking any additional paperwork and on their behalf this is a great decision. Many car rental companies do not consider spouses as domestic partners. But, at present, there is one rental company named Avis Rent-A-Car, which allows domestic partners for driving privileges without asking any questions. In case an accident takes place, Avis will request for showing proof of domestic partnership. Domestic partnership will be verified by a government issued ID having the same address, a credit card bill or shared utility bill in both names.
