Young Driver Car Hire

Hello fellow MSEr's

I want to hire a car for a weekend soon, can anyone recommend any good bbut also nicely priced car rentals? I really hate the young driver rule because it is such an added cost. I've tried a few of the search comparisons but they don't show the surcharge for young drivers. I've looked at a few but they seem to be min age 23, i'm 22, one month away from being 23 and have 5 years crash free continuos driving experience but i doubt that helps since its all computerised >.<

Thanks!

    I have the same problem and it is very hard to avoid the surcharge. I drive a number of hire cars (for Work) but using work insurance so they don't apply any surcharge.

    Sorry I couldn't really help.
