Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some businesses will pass on a surcharge to customers between 21 and 24. Always read through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
Can I drive in Downtown Oakland with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license issued in the U.S, you may be required to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required, be aware that you’ll also have to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the vehicle 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 to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the company you’re renting from before you travel 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 onto ferries or go off-roading with a rental car. Please read the details before booking!
