Where can I find an Oakland car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the car rental companies that operate 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 25, bear in mind that extra fees may apply. Do 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 driver's license issued in the U.S, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required, know 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 must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about rental cars 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 allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: 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 Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with your home vehicle. Please read the regulations before you book!
