Where can I find an Oakland car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether or not you can rent a car under the age of 25 in Oakland often depends on the holiday home company you choose. Some outlets have a surcharge for drivers aged between 21 and 24 years, yet other companies may not have any extra fees for this age group. It’d be good to go through the terms and conditions of your selected holiday home company to avoid extra costs when collecting your car.
Can I drive in Oakland with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license from the U.S, you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., know that you’ll also have to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Additional requirements for car rentals 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 places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you book to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse off-road areas with your home vehicle. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
