Requirements may differ between outlets, so look over the fine print.
What do you need to rent a car in Berkeley?
While rules can differ between car rental outlets in Berkeley, the two key things you’ll need are your driver’s license and a credit card. You don’t need to take out auto insurance with your home provider. However, proof of your own coverage may be necessary.

Where can I find a Berkeley car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Berkeley outlets will rent to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won’t. Age policies differ between suppliers, so you should do some research. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some places will pass on a surcharge to young drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always check the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
Can I drive in Berkeley with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license issued in the United States, then you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car in the U.S. 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 used to rent the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 or older in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the company you’re renting from before you book to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your home vehicle. Please read the details before you book!
