How old do you have to be to rent a car in Oakland?
At least 21. But there are several age-related rules you should bear in mind before you book your Oakland wheels. If you’re a younger driver, most home companies will charge an extra fee and limit the types of cars you’re able to rent. The surcharge amount, and which ages it applies to, varies between companies. Take a moment to compare the requirements.
What do you need to rent a car in Oakland?
You’ll need to present a valid driver’s license and a credit card in your name at the home counter. Prior to the pickup date, check with your selected home company whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of auto insurance.

Where can I find an Oakland car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between holiday home suppliers, so be prepared to do a little research. Managed to find an Oakland outlet that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? Great! Just take note that extra fees often apply to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The fine print of each holiday home car you’re considering will have all the information you need.
Can I drive in Oakland with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license issued in the United States, you may be required to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence 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 ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the vehicle must also match the name on your driver’s 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 must be at least 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the company you’re renting from before you travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you get behind the wheel 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 go off-roading with your car rental. Please read the regulations before you book!
