How old do you have to be to rent a car in Oakland?
Rental car rules in Oakland require drivers to be at least 21. Are you a young driver? Some surcharges and restrictions could apply. Home outlets impose what is known as a young renter surcharge, which is an extra fee to the car rental cost. Restrictions generally apply to the types of cars available to young people as well. Age limits may differ between outlets, so check before you book.
What do you need to rent a car in Oakland?
The main requirements are a valid driver’s license and a credit card in your name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of other coverage if you choose to opt out. Check with your home agency to avoid any issues.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Oakland?
You can rent a vehicle for a month or longer in Oakland, so go on and extend that holiday! Simply enter your trip information into our long-term car rental deals page and lock in your perfect ride.
Where can I find an Oakland car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to investigate the age policy of the Oakland holiday home providers you’re interested in. If you’re under the age of 25 some companies will charge extra costs. It’s handy to know this before collecting the vehicle so you can plan your budget accordingly. Every holiday home car company has its own terms and conditions for younger drivers, so do your research.
Can I drive in Oakland with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license issued in the United States, then you may need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required for you 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 ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the car must match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 or older in many states to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the company you’re renting from before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your car rental. Please read the regulations before booking!
