Also, nice touches like high-quality upholstery and sunroofs are usually standard. If you're looking for something smaller, choose an economy or compact car. They make city driving a dream.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Oakland?
Oakland rules state drivers must be 21 and above to be able to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect an extra cost and tighter rental conditions. Most suppliers impose a young renter fee in addition to the usual rental rate. This helps cover the higher risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like compact and economy) are available to young motorists, restrictions usually apply to premium and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Oakland?
Before you can hit the road in Oakland, you'll need a valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. If you decline to take out the rental company's insurance plan, you may also have to show proof of alternative coverage. Requirements may vary, so understand the policy terms and conditions before you choose a rental provider.
What is the cheapest car rental in Oakland?
AU$68 and AU$72 were the two lowest daily prices for car rentals in Oakland within the past seven days. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Oakland?
Yes, so there's no need to rebook a rental car in the middle of your holiday. Click through to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your information and find a ride that's all yours for the next month or so.
Where can I find an Oakland car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver looking for a car rental in Oakland, it'd be wise to check the policies of the car rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. Surcharges may apply if you're aged between 21 and 24. To avoid any surprises at the rental counter, make sure you know what to expect.
Can I drive in Oakland with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the U.S, you may be required to organise 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 current driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the vehicle must 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 need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse off-road areas with a rental car. Please read the details before you book!
