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!
