Well, here is the story.
A business trip to SF in a couple of days, company already rented a car at SF airport and according to the car rental company, only age 25 or older can take the car, which means me. (yup, the other two co-workers are 23 and 24). The problem is that my driver license is restricted (read not suspended)...so is the rental car company going to find out when I present my driver's license to the front desk? Do they really check my driving record?

No, they're not going to check your driving record. As long as your drivers license isn't expired they most likely wont bat an eye.

Probably not. They care a lot more about insurance. However, what are the terms of your restriction? Can you go outside of LA? It'd really suck if a speeding ticket got your license/probation/whatever revoked. Take another look at your papers before driving.

A safer option might be to rent through Enterprise. Enterprise will rent to those under 25. I've rented from them for years now and have never had a bad agent or car. I think there's a surcharge for drivers under 25 (not sure, I haven't been under 25 for a few years now), but it's reasonable. You should take a look at them.
