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

There could also be restrictions on the categories of vehicles that can be rented by young drivers. For example, some providers will only hire out small to medium-sized cars to young motorists. Rules may differ between companies, so be sure to read the fine print.
What do you need to hire a car in Oakland?
Most hire companies will require two things --- a valid driver's license and a credit card in your name. If you'd like to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring with you to the hire counter.

Where can I find an Oakland hire car if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between hire companies, so be prepared to do a bit of shopping around. Found an Oakland supplier that does rent to drivers under 25? Terrific! Just be aware that some companies charge additional fees to drivers between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're considering will have all the details you need.
Can I drive in Oakland with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the United States, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring a car. If you find that an IDP is required, note that you'll also need 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 car must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Other things you should know about hiring a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll 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 years. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the company you're hiring from before you go to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your hired car. Please read the details before booking!
