The ability to rent a vehicle if you are under 25 years old in Oakland often depends on the rental provider you choose.

It'd be good to understand the terms and conditions of your selected car rental dealer to escape unnecessary costs when collecting your car.
Can I drive in Oakland with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license issued in the U.S, you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., be aware that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the car must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your home. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as the car rental website before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your home vehicle. Please read the details before you book!
