How old do you have to be to rent a car in New Jersey?

Can I rent a car in New Jersey if I’m only 22? I’m getting ready to move, and I need to get some kind of vehicle to help, but I don’t think I’m old enough.

New Jersey
, so you won’t run into any legal issues when trying to rent a car to help you move.
However, you may run into some problems when trying to rent from certain companies, as some rental car companies do have a minimum age requirement. You’ll need to rent from a company that allows people under 25 to rent cars, so you might need to shop around a bit before you can find a car for your move.
