This will depend on the holiday home companies that are in Oakland. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under the age of 25  bear in mind that additional fees may apply. Conduct some research into any extra charges before picking up your vehicle.
Can I drive in Oakland with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license issued in the U.S, you may be required to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car in the U.S. 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 valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or go off-roading with your home. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
