“I stepped up to the counter to pick up my car and they said, ‘You’re over 74, You can’t have a car,’” he said.
What he missed was in the fine print of Routes Car Rentals’ Rules and Restrictions page in Travelocity. In the “Merchant Rules” section, it notes an upper age limit of 74 years of age for local renters…
This is a whole other part of the problem. “Oh, your car broke down and you need to rent one? Too bad!” I’ve also had to pay an extra large deposit for a local rental. Same with a local hotel. It sounds like he could rent elsewhere. Lots of potential discrimination here.
