I am only 19 but I’m under my dad’s insurance. Some lady backed into my car and the insurance company will pay for a rental car, but I know most of them you have to be like 25, but I’m sure there’s at least ONE that you only have to be 18. I live in NJ. Does anyone know any??
Are there any car rental companies in NJ that you only have to be 18 to put a car under your name?

No, there are none that will rent to anyone at age 19.

Probably not:
HOWEVER…. call your insurance company. Tell them… my car was ran into, you will pay for a rental… so YOU need to call and arrange for one for me.
Make them do the legwork, you pay them insurance every month. By making you do it, they may be breaking the contract anyway.

Your insurance company would be the best place to start. They have agreements with car rental companies that may allow you to rent from them. Enterprise may be an option – in certain circumstances they will allow rentals to 18 year olds. If you are close to the New York State border you can rent from there. Rental companies in NY are required by law to rent to 18 year olds and up. Two other companies you can try are rent a wreck and ez rental. Not sure if they have locations near you but some of their locations rent to 18 year olds.
I would also try some smaller local companies and as a last resort you could rent a truck. I believe all the truck rental places rent to 18 year olds – Penske for sure.
