This depends on the car hire companies that are found in Oakland. They often have different age policies. If you’ve found an outlet that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, be aware that extra fees may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before you collect the car.
Can I drive in Oakland with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license from the United States, you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the car hire process. If you find that an IDP is required, be aware that you’ll also have to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card you used to hire the vehicle must match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to confirm your 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 many states in order 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 travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When hiring a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or go off-roading with a hire car. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
