Many companies impose a daily young renter fee on top of the standard car rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like economy and compact) are available to young drivers, restrictions generally apply to luxury and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Berkeley?
Any rental company you select will require two things — your driver's licence and a credit card in your name.

Can I drive in Berkeley with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the United States, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, be aware that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the car rental company before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse off-road areas with a rental car. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
