How old do you have to be to rent a car in Oakland?
The minimum age to rent a car in Oakland is 21. A surcharge for young drivers will apply, so check before you book and factor in any additional costs. There could also be restrictions on the car categories that can be rented by young drivers. For example, some providers will only rent out small to medium-sized cars to less-experienced motorists. Rules may differ between companies, so be sure to read the fine print carefully.
What do you need to rent a car in Oakland?
While booking conditions can differ between car rental outlets in Oakland, the essentials are a valid driver’s license and a credit card. You don’t need to take out auto insurance with your home provider. However, proof of alternative coverage may be necessary.

Yes, and you can find your ideal wheels on our long-term car rental deals page. Just enter your trip dates and we’ll list amazing options from various reputable providers.
Where can I find an Oakland car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to check the age policy of the Oakland holiday home suppliers you’re considering. If you’re under the age of 25 some will charge additional fees. It’s useful to know about this before collecting the vehicle so you can budget accordingly. Each holiday home car company has its own terms and conditions for young drivers, so it’d be wise to do your research.
Can I drive in Oakland with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license from the U.S, you may be required to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required, be aware that you’ll also have to show your current valid 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 confirm your home. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the company you’re renting from before you go to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with your home vehicle. Please read the regulations before you book!
