Where can I find an Oakland car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver looking for a rental in Oakland, we recommend checking the policies of the various car rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be extra fees if you're aged between 21 and 24. To avoid any nasty surprises at the rental desk, 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 United States, you might need to organise 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 driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about 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 years. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the car rental website before your trip to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with your home vehicle. Please read the regulations before booking!
