How old do you have to be to rent a car in Oakland?
In Oakland, the rule is usually 21 and over. Most outlets will charge extra fees for young drivers, which can differ based on the home location. Home policies for young drivers may include restrictions for certain vehicles, such as large cars, and require inclusive insurance to be taken out. Be sure to check the fine print before choosing your wheels.
What do you need to rent a car in Oakland?
Generally, all that’s required is a valid driver’s license and a credit card in the same name when collecting the keys to your car. Proof of coverage may also be required if you decide to opt out of the company’s insurance plan. Requirements are likely to differ between home companies, so it’s a good idea to check the terms and conditions.

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 suppliers you’re considering. If you’re under 25 years of age, be aware that some will charge additional fees. It’s useful to know about this ahead of time so you can have the funds ready. Each holiday home car company has its own policies for younger drivers, so it pays to 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 might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S, note that you’ll also need to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. 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 areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you travel to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you drive off to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse rough terrain with your home vehicle. Please read the regulations before you book!
