Can I drive in Downtown 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 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, the credit card you used to hire the vehicle must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Other things you should know about hire cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in many states to hire a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the company you're hiring from before you book to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with a hired car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
