How old do you have to be to rent a car in Oakland?
You need to be at least 21. But there are a handful of age-related restrictions you should keep in mind before you reserve your wheels in Oakland. If you’re a younger motorist, most home suppliers will charge an additional daily fee and limit the sorts of vehicles you can rent. The surcharge amount, and which age range it applies to, varies between outlets. Take the time to compare the rules.
What do you need to rent a car in Oakland?
Any home company you select will require two things — your driver’s license and a credit card in your name. If you choose to opt out of the provider’s insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it’s time to collect your car.

Where can I find an Oakland car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to look up the age policy of the Oakland holiday home suppliers you’re interested in. If you’re under the age of 25 be aware that some will charge additional fees. It’s useful to know this in advance so you can have the funds ready. Each holiday home car company has its own policies for young drivers, so be sure to do your research.
Can I drive in Oakland with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license from the United States, you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S, be aware that you’ll also have to show your valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to confirm your home. Additional requirements for car rentals 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, and with the car rental company before you travel to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse rough terrain with your car rental. Please read the regulations before booking!
