How old do you have to be to rent a car in Berkeley?
Anyone with a valid driver's licence aged 21 and above can rent a car in Berkeley. While some companies may be willing to accommodate drivers younger than 21, they will add on fees. Find out what age range the young driver surcharge applies to, and the cost, before locking in your ride. Outlets also restrict the types of cars young drivers can rent. Higher age limits apply for large vehicles like premium SUVs and luxury models.
What do you need to rent a car in Berkeley?
A current driver's licence and a credit card in the same name are necessities. Don't want to take out the company's insurance plan? If that's the case, you may need proof of other coverage. The requirements may differ from rental company to rental company, so read through your policy.

Where can I find a Berkeley car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver looking for a car rental in Berkeley, we recommend reading the policies of the various car rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be additional costs if you're aged between 21 and 24. To escape any unpleasant surprises at the rental desk, make sure you know exactly what to expect.
Can I drive in Berkeley with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the U.S, you might need to apply for 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., know that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. 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. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you go to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • 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 usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your rental car. Please read the regulations before booking!
