Can I drive in Oakland with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the U.S, you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., know that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card that was used to hire the car must match the name on your driver's 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'll need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to hire a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the hired car company before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you drive off the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with a hired car. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
