What is the minimum age to rent a vehicle?

What insurance is required for renting a vehicle?
Renters are required to have collision damage coverage for the rental car as well as the state minimum of liability coverage. If proof of insurance is not provided, the renter will be required to purchase insurance from Rugged Rental.
– Renter Collision Protection@ $25/day
– Supplemental Liability Insurance @ $10/day
Both are required to provide the necessary coverage.
Rugged Rental is not qualified to evaluate the adequacy of the renters existing coverage – therefore the renter should examine his or her credit card protections, automobile insurance policies or other sources of coverage that may duplicate the insurance options we offer prior to arrival at our office.
What are the local renter requirements?
Local Renters are required to have a credit card in their name and provide proof of insurance. If Rugged Rental insurance is purchased this satisfies the insurance requirement.
Local Renters must possess a valid permanent driver license. (Temporary licenses are not accepted) Proof of residency must be provided matching the address on the driver license.
Local Renters may not leave their personal vehicles at Rugged Rental during the duration of their rental.
Is "off-road" use allowed?
Driving of all Rugged Rental vehicles is limited to improved roads only. This is described as all paved roads, graded dirt roads, or well maintained easy to moderate trails. Off road use of any kind is prohibited as well as rock crawling or driving on difficult trails.
Do you offer unlimited miles?

What is the difference between the Salt Lake Int'l Airport location & the Salt Lake local office location?
There is a difference in applicable taxes and fees for visitors who arrive via the Salt Lake International airport and local renters. This helps identify which taxes and fees apply to your specific rental and gives you an accurate estimate.
