It's still good to read over your hire policy though because there are some exceptions. If the information isn't there, make your way to our Customer Service Portal.

Accepted Answer

Low-cost, luxury and everything in between, you have plenty of choice! If you prefer your rides to have style and lots of space, check out the most popular rental type in Oakland — the full-size. These vehicles are perfect for larger groups and lengthier trips. Also, nice touches like sunroofs and high-quality upholstery are often standard. If you'd like something smaller, go for an economy or compact car. They make city driving a dream.

Accepted Answer

Expedia makes it a cinch to compare costs, offers and providers, and to check reviews. Bundle your Oakland car hire with flight or hotel bookings and you can make even bigger savings.

Question 7

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

Accepted Answer

In Oakland, the rule is generally 21 years and over. Most outlets will charge additional fees for young drivers, which can differ based on the hire location. Hire agreements for young drivers may restrict certain vehicles, such as large SUVs, and require comprehensive insurance to be taken out. Be sure to read the fine print carefully before locking in your ride.

Question 8

What do you need to hire a car in Oakland?

Accepted Answer

Generally, all that's required is a current driver's license and credit card in your name when collecting the keys to your vehicle. Proof of coverage may also be needed if you'd prefer to opt out of the company's insurance plan. Rules often differ between hire suppliers, so it's always wise to check before booking.

Oakland has no doubt had some very happy rental car customers lately. Daily rates within the past seven days were as low as £69 and £71. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.

Question 11

Where can I find an Oakland hire car if I am younger than 25?

Accepted Answer

Hiring a car if you are under 25 years old in Oakland often depends on the hire supplier you choose. Some businesses apply a surcharge for young customers aged between 21 and 24 years, but others may not apply any extra costs for this age group. Ensure you understand the terms and conditions of your preferred rental dealer to escape unnecessary costs at the hire desk.

Question 12

Can I drive in Oakland with my current driver's license?

Accepted Answer

If you don't possess a driver's license from the U.S, you may be required to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring 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 forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to hire the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Other things you should know about hired cars in the U.S. Are:

Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the company you're hiring from before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you get behind the wheel 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 hired vehicle. Please read the regulations before you book!
