Higher limits are in place for large vehicles like premium SUVs and luxury models.

Where can I find an Apiti car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to investigate the age policy of the Apiti rental providers you're considering. If you're under 25 years of age, some outlets will charge additional fees. It's handy to know about this before collecting the vehicle so you can have the funds ready. Every rental car company has its own rules for young drivers, so be sure to do your research.
