I rented a car in Italy at age 21. My friend rented a car in france at 22. The American companies wont let you, but I think that if you arrange the rental in Europe it will be ok, but cost more if you want a car that is powerful enough for the highways. I got a Lancia Y, which I think was about 45 bucks a day.
Unless you want to travel a lot in rural areas, I would not bother with a car. on top of rental cost, the gasoline is incredibly expensive, and parking in cities is generally very difficult and costly. Its really only a good idea if you have three or more people. Remember, in Europe there is excellent train service, which will get you everywhere you want to go at a very reasonable price (especially on the slower trains) plus you get a great opportunity to meet people in the countries you will be visiting. Eurail pass is good if you want to go to a LOT of places over a short time. Otherwise, buy tickets as you need them.
Onthe other hand, driving in europe is fun... A lot different from american driving, faster, a LOT more traffic, much smaller roads (keep in mind my experience is in Italy, may be different up north).
