Avis additional driver

Booked a BA flydrive to Tampa with avis we are also BA executive members. Is it just my husband who can be the additional driver or can my 19yr old daughter make use of this instead?

Your husband will use the automatic free spouse driver on the Avis booking and your daughter can use the free additional driver you get with BA Exec club. So all three of you can drive

the Additional driver does have to be over 25.

The following individuals, if 25 years of age or older and in possession of a valid driver's license, may drive the car with the renter's prior permission and are exempt from Additional Driver fees:

Your husband would be covered as an additional driver under Avis rental T&C's and doesn't have to show his license.

Your daughter would be too young as Avis only permit drivers 25+

You won’t be able to insure your daughter as she is under 21, there is a charge for 21 to 24 years.

Additional drivers under the age of 25 are subject to a Young Driver Surcharge. Under-25s are also only eligible to drive certain Avis hire cars.

Not with avis but I’m sure there are other companies out there that will. Probably will be very pricey though.

And they need to be the Lead driver. AVIS does not allow additional drivers under 25, only the lead driver. So if you have a driver 21-25 they must be the lead driver to be able to drive.

If you contact Andy from Discount florida car hire (discountfloridacarhire/contactus.php) he might be able to put you in touch with specialist hire companies, however, her age may be too prohibitive but it's always good to at least ask the question.
