Statistics show that the highest risk age group is the under 25’s, and insurers work directly from statistics. The hire cost will be factored directly from type of car and insurance costs. All the majors and most of the small ones will do this – it’s simple and easy for them.
If you hunt around, you should be able to find a small insurer who will take into account 5 years with no claims, but it may take some effort.
Arnold Clark have a number of clauses you should read carefully (have used them once – never again) – things can get very expensive if you do have any incident!
Additionally, car rental prices across Europe have risen dramatically over the last 18 months – not sure why, but I was looking at over 55% rises in most of the countries I wanted to hire a car in. Some time spent on the Internet helped me drop that back down again, but it was a struggle (in Cyprus it was Sixt that could do a good deal.)
