How old do you have to be to hire a car in Berkeley?

Also, young drivers often aren't permitted to rent specialty or luxury vehicles. Thoroughly read the fine print before booking so there are no surprises at the rental counter.
What do you need to rent a car in Berkeley?

Where can I find a Berkeley hire car if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver hoping to book a hire car in Berkeley, we recommend checking the terms and conditions of the hire car companies you're interested in. Some may hire to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be surcharges if you're between 21 and 24 years of age. To avoid any nasty surprises at the hire counter, make sure you do your research.
Can I drive in Berkeley with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license issued in the United States, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the car hire process. 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 ID. Lastly, your credit card used to hire the vehicle must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Some additional requirements for hiring a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in most states to be able to hire a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the company you're hiring from before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When hiring a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse off-road areas with your car hire. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
