Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Oakland?
The cheapest daily rate in Oakland was AU$337 based on prices within the last seven days. Take a look at our impressive range of options, from economy vehicles to cruise-in-style rides.
What happens if I need to cancel my Oakland car reservation?
We have good news! You should get a full refund if you advise us more than six hours before collecting the car. Your confirmation contains details about this, as does our Customer Service Portal. Not all bookings result in a refund though, so you may want to check your car’s home agreement.
What types of cars can I rent in Oakland?

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Oakland?
Oakland requires drivers to be at least 21 to be able to rent a car. However, young drivers will be subject to a surcharge and stricter home conditions. Most suppliers impose a young renter fee on top of the car rental rate. This covers the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like mid-size and compact) are available to young renters, restrictions usually apply to premium and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Oakland?
Any home company you choose will ask for these two things — your driver’s license and a credit card in your name. If you’d prefer to opt out of the supplier’s insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring when it’s time to pick up your ride.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Oakland?
Head over to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your preferences and then secure your perfect ride. Whether you’re stopping in Oakland or plan to journey beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term holiday home at an awesome rate.
Where can I find an Oakland car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between holiday home companies, so be prepared to do a little shopping around. Found an Oakland outlet that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? Great! Just bear in mind that some companies charge additional fees to drivers between 21 and 24. The fine print of each holiday home car you’re interested in should have all the information you need.
Can I drive in Oakland with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license from the United States, you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required, be aware that you’ll also have to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the car rental website before your trip to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you get 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, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with your home vehicle. Please read the regulations before booking!
