How old do you need to be to rent a car in Rhode Island?

My parents live in Providence, but I haven’t been home to see them in about a year. After the visit, I want to drive to Boston, but I’m not sure if I’m old enough to rent a car. What age do you need to be to rent a car in Rhode Island?

In
Rhode Island
, you only need to be 21 years old to rent a car.
But if you’re under the age of 25, the rental car company may charge additional fees and restrict the type of car you can rent.
You can also decline
rental car insurance
if you have personal car insurance. Most policies cover rental cars, making rental car insurance an unnecessary expenditure.
