I never had a problem renting a hotel room before I was 25 ( but I never tried in Florida, where they get a lot of Spring Breakers...Ralph and I did have a hard time renting a car when we went to Spring Break my senior year of college (he was 24, 8 months from 25, I was 23). We ewre able to get arounf the additonal charges for being "underage" by putting it on his coprarate credit card. Responsible enough to have a corparate account, but not to rent a car
