Hey guys. I'll be taking a cross country road trip in May and one of
my friends is under 25 will be tagging along for the ride. He won't be
doing much of the driving but in the event that I need for him to
drive for a bit, what are the risks involved with him driving but not
being on the rental agreement as an additional driver.

If you get a traffic ticket or get into an accident, then you will be in
big
trouble.

Your insurance will not cover anything that happens. However, I recently
rented two cars in Florida for our family (8). Because my son is only 24,
the car rental company wouldn't let me rent in his name. I rented one in
mine, one in my husband's, but the 24 year old was the only one who ever
drove that car. I KNEW I WAS ASSUMING ALL RISK. I was comfortable with
that risk (the "kid" drives huge fire trucks!!). Nothing happened, as I had
expected, but if it had, it would have all come out of my pocket.
Know and weigh your own risks. All risks will be assumed by the registered
renter.
