How old do you have to be to rent a car in Oakland?
In Oakland, the rule is generally 21 years of age and over. Most outlets will charge additional fees for young drivers, which can vary based on the home location. Home agreements for young drivers may include restrictions for certain vehicles, such as luxury cars, and require inclusive insurance to be taken out. Remember to read the fine print before booking your ride.
What do you need to rent a car in Oakland?
Most home companies will require two things — a current driver’s license and a credit card in your name. If you’d like to opt out of the provider’s insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring when it’s time to pick up the keys.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Oakland?
Visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and then lock in your ideal ride. Whether you’re basing yourself in Oakland or exploring beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term home at an excellent rate.
Where can I find an Oakland car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to look into the age policy of the Oakland holiday home suppliers you’re interested in. If you’re under 25 years old, be aware that some will charge extra fees. It’s best to know this in advance so you can plan your budget accordingly. Each holiday home car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so do your research.
Can I drive in Oakland with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license issued in the U.S, then you might need to apply for 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., be aware that you’ll also have to show your valid driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the car 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’ll need to be 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 your trip to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you leave the lot 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 a rental car. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
