Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Oakland?
Within the past seven days in Oakland, you could have taken off in a rental car for as little as per day.
Can I rent a car from Roseburg, OR (RBG-Roseburg Regional)?
Enterprise is a short commute from the terminal and the only car rental outlet. Reserve your ride as soon as you know your travel dates to avoid missing out.
What happens if I need to cancel my Oakland car reservation?
We realise that plans change at the last minute. That’s why the majority of bookings offer a full refund if you cancel six hours in advance of pickup. Your home agreement should have all the specifics you need. If you can’t see the answer there, our Customer Service Portal is available to help.
What types of cars can I rent in Oakland?
Crowded city streets and tight parking spots are no match for an economy car — the most popular home type in Oakland. Grab the wheel of one of these and negotiate traffic like a dream. Reliable, affordable and good on gas, these small cars pack a punch. But Oakland can be explored in almost any type of home you like. Compact, mid-size and full-size vehicles are other options to consider.
Where can I go on a road trip from Oakland?
Book a set of wheels, collect the keys and explore all the sights and sounds of Oakland. But with so many places to visit in the surrounding areas, don’t let your journey stop there! Set your sat-nav to some of the other exciting places in the region:

  • Boasting attractions and experiences galore, Eugene is about 72 kilometres from Oakland. First stop of the day? Follow the signs to University of Oregon, one of the city’s biggest highlights.
  • Bend, around 177 kilometres away, will also show you a good time. Chasing some sightseeing inspiration? Old Mill District is one of our favourite stops.
  • No holiday is complete without a wander around Portland Japanese Garden. This much-loved nature spot is approximately 241 kilometres from Oakland. Breathe in the fresh air and relax!

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Oakland?
Home vehicle rules in Oakland require drivers to be at least 21. Are you a younger driver? Some restrictions and surcharges may apply. Many home companies impose what’s known as a young driver surcharge, which is an additional fee to the rental car cost. Restrictions generally apply to the categories of cars available to young people too. Age limits may differ between providers, so check before you book.
What do you need to rent a car in Oakland?
Any home company you choose will require two things — a current driver’s license and a credit card in your name. If you decide to opt out of the supplier’s insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring with you to the home counter.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Oakland?
Click through to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your preferences and then choose a ride that suits. Whether you’re staying put in Oakland or venturing far 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?
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. Do some research into what those charges could be before collecting the vehicle.
Can I drive in Oakland with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license from the U.S, you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., know that you’ll also have to show your valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as the car rental website before you go to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off 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 on ferries or go off-roading with your home. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
