Where can I find an Oakland car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look into the age policy of the Oakland rental providers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years old, some companies will charge additional costs. It's ideal to know this before collecting the vehicle so you can budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own terms and conditions for young drivers, so do your research.
Can I drive in Oakland with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the U.S, you may be required to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country 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 form of ID. Lastly, the credit card 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 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 allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, and with the car rental company before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with your home vehicle. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
