Expect that everywhere. I think its like $15.00 per day surcharge between 21 and 25. Sometimes you'll get lucky and find an enterprise that doesn't know what they're doing and not charge you the underage fee. ( I know from experience I rent 4-5 a year a cargo van for work)

idk if im going to chance driving that thing that far lol. it runs good but i dont think it would make it there and back.

im going to stop at enterprise on the way home today and see what they say and see what my car options are.

You should chance it. If it breaks its just another adventure for you, and a story you can tell. I would probably trust the bronco over some rental cars since they truly get the snot beat of them. I'll bet it would surprise you and run flawlessly for your trip. I'm sure theres others around that take longer trips in crappier cars.

You'd have plenty of room for luggage...nice comfortable seats...my vote is for the bronco. Make sure you've got the "junkyard" tool set with you, and extra of any fluids that it leaks, just in case.

well i think you might be able to get away without it... my friend who just turned 20 was able to rent a moving truck... so i think you might be able to get away with it

it is a good running truck but with 177k on it im just not sure. i dont want to have the fuel pump or something to crap out on me when im driving down.

i could do a tuneup and change all the fluids/filters.

make sure that intake isn't leaking, its just like the lt1's. other than that, just cruise. they are good trucks when cared for

its like 1500 rpm in park and just under 1000 rpm in gear.

and other than that its good. all guages run right in the middle of the normal mark. just has a noise like one of the front pulley bearings is going bad.

whoa. I rented a car from Avis and I was 22 at the time. Cost me 200 to rent a 2009 Malibu one-way from VA-North Jersey overnight for ~24 hours. just throwing that out there. Its actually cheaper if you return it at the same location
