How old do you have to be to rent a car in Oakland?
Drivers with a valid license 21 and over can rent a vehicle in Oakland. While some providers may be willing to accommodate drivers younger than 21 prepare for additional fees. Find out what ages the young driver surcharge applies to, and the cost, before reserving your ride. Suppliers also restrict the categories of cars young drivers can rent. Higher age limits apply for luxury and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Oakland?
While terms and conditions can differ between car rental outlets, the two main things you’ll need are a valid driver’s license and a credit card in your name. You don’t need to take out auto insurance with your home provider. However, proof of your own coverage may be required.

Where can I find an Oakland car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the holiday home companies located in Oakland. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you’ve found a supplier that does cater to drivers under the age of 25 take note that extra fees may apply. Conduct some research into any extra charges before booking your holiday home.
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!
