Are You Too Old for a Rental Car?

A little-known regulation has stranded more than one unsuspecting senior traveler, leaving them without transportation because they are “too old” to drive the rental car they reserved in advance. This got me wondering if there's a definitive age when someone is deemed too old to drive. I found out there is no specific age; it depends on the person's eyesight, dexterity, reaction times, health and ability to pay attention.

Apparently some car rental companies made a decision, however. Find out why (and where) you could be too old for a rental car, and get tips to find senior-friendly rental car agencies.
