How old do you have to be to rent a car in Berkeley?
If you're 21 and above, you can rent a car in Berkeley. Be aware that home companies will charge young drivers an extra fee, which helps cover the higher damage risk involved. Also, young drivers usually aren't permitted to rent specialty or luxury vehicles. Carefully read the fine print before booking to avoid any problems during pickup.
What do you need to rent a car in Berkeley?
A valid driver's license and a credit card in the same name are two essentials. Don't want to take out the company's insurance plan? In that case, you're also likely to need proof of your own coverage. Requirements may differ between providers, so have a thorough read of your policy.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Berkeley?
You can. Expedia partners with quality companies that offer weekly and monthly homes for many car categories. Reserve one of our long-term car rental deals and discover every corner of Berkeley --- or way beyond!
Where can I find a Berkeley car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Berkeley outlets will rent cars to drivers under 25 years old, and others won't. Policies differ between suppliers, so you'll have to do some research. Also, find out if there are additional costs. Some outlets will pass on a surcharge to customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always check the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
Can I drive in Berkeley with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license from the United States, you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S, note that you'll also need to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the vehicle must also match the name on your driver's 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'll need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, and with the car rental company before you book to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you leave the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse off-road areas with your home vehicle. Please read the regulations before you book!
