The ability to rent a vehicle if you are under 25 years old in Berkeley often depends on the rental supplier you choose. Some places apply a surcharge for customers between 21 and 24 years of age, whereas others may not apply any additional fees for this age range. It'd be smart to go through the terms and conditions of your selected car rental dealer to escape extra charges when collecting your car.
Can I drive in Berkeley with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the U.S, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. 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 valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the vehicle must also match the name on your driver's 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'll need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before your trip to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you leave the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can't 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!
