No need to worry. You should be given all of your money back if you notify us more than six hours ahead of the collection time. Your itinerary contains details about this, and so does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid bookings will receive a refund though, so you may want to scan the home agreement.

  • Make tracks to Colorado Springs for a fun-filled sightseeing adventure. Approximately 105 kilometres from Berkeley, it has tons of great sights like Pikes Peak.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Berkeley?
Drivers aged 21 and above can go road-tripping around Berkeley in a rental car. If you’re a young motorist, a daily surcharge applies. You’ll usually be restricted to a few car categories, such as economy and compact, and may also have to take out comprehensive 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 Berkeley?
In most cases, all you’ll need is a driver’s license and a credit card in the same name when collecting your vehicle. Proof of coverage may also be needed if you choose to opt out of the company’s insurance plan. These requirements often differ between home providers, so be sure to check before you book.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Berkeley?
Yes, and you’ll find your ideal ride on our long-term car rental deals page. Just enter your trip details and we’ll list fantastic options from a range of quality companies.
Where can I find a Berkeley car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the holiday home companies located in Berkeley. They often have different age policies. If you’ve found a place that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, bear in mind that extra costs may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before you collect the car.
Can I drive in Berkeley with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license from the United States, then you might need to get 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 driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the car rental company before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse off-road areas with a rental car. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
