There is no law that says you can't rent a car or have a hotel room at 18. It's the owners discression.
And having the alcohol age at 21 is for the safety of society. In most places where the drinking age was lowered to 18, teen drinking and driving deaths skyrocketed. Yes, perhaps it's right in theory and in all goodness, but in reality legal drinking at 18, in America, doesn't work; and it probobly never will.
