You'll usually have fewer car categories to choose from, such as compact and mid-size, and may also have to take out inclusive insurance. Always enter the correct age of the primary driver when booking to find out if any surcharges or restrictions apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Oakland?
A current driver's licence and a credit card in the same name are necessities. Don't want to take out the company's insurance plan? In that case, you're also likely to need proof of your own coverage. Rules may differ between suppliers, so be sure to read through your policy.

Where can I find an Oakland car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to check the age policy of the Oakland rental providers you're interested in. If you're under the age of 25, be mindful that some will charge additional costs. It's ideal to know about this before collecting the vehicle so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own terms and conditions for younger drivers, so do your research.
Can I drive in Oakland with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the United States, then you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. 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 valid driver's license and your passport or other form 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. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking state and local regulations, and with the car rental company before you go to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your home. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
