Can my wife who has no drivers license make a car rental reservation and add me - who does have a license - as an additional?

My wife is already 25 but I'm not, so if this works it would be great.

Any idea if this would work?

You cannot be the primary renter without a valid drivers license. CMIIW.

Ok,

Question #2.
Does the primary renter need to present at the location when picking up/dropping off the car or that can be done by the additional driver?

Pickup location: JFK or surrounding areas
Drop Off location: Same
Pickup date & time: Jul 1 in the morning
Drop Off Date & Time Jul 8 in the afternoon
Preferred Car Size: Standard
Age (if under 25): 21
Best quote: ~250-300

Alternatively, if I could find a good deal on a long term rental for 2 months I'd be very happy. As it is the underage fees are super high.
