Teenagers driving such a huge vehicle? NEW drivers at the wheel of a monster car with human passengers and innocent drivers on the road with them?

The very thought of this frightens me. Teens need years of driving practice to be able to drive in their own towns, much less in strange places with hills and....well, please don't do this to your family and whomever of my own far flung family who might be driving on those same roads.

Go talk to a Highway Patrolman and ask him/her what he/she thinks of putting a new teen driver behind the wheel of such a vehicle. They can probably tell you a few things that will curl your hair!! And THEN go to your own insurance agent...and tell the rental place what you have planned. Ask if your insurance will cover this trip.
You're right....I was just planning all of this is my "ideal" world. The teens are not such great drivers now.....that is why they are not getting their licenses for a long time. It is sounding more and more like I need to be saving for 4 airline tickets and keep looking for that "good deal."
I have a year to figure it out...
Thanks for your words of wisdom.
