Question 1

How much is a rental car per day in Oakland?

Accepted Answer

You get bang for your buck in Oakland, with car hire prices within the past seven days starting from as low as £31 a day.

Question 2

What happens if I need to cancel my Oakland car reservation?

Accepted Answer

Don't stress. You should be eligible for all of your money back if you notify us more than six hours ahead of picking up the car. Your itinerary contains details about this, and so does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid rentals qualify for a refund though, so you may want to read through your car's rental agreement.

Question 3

What types of cars can I rent in Oakland?

Accepted Answer

Powerful SUVs, nifty minis, luxury rides... Get behind the wheel of whatever you prefer! Economy is the most popular hired car category in Oakland. Zippy, great on fuel and a breeze to park, these wheels make touring busy city streets a delight. The best part? They're easy on the wallet. That means you'll have more money to splash on other things, like discovering as much of this exciting destination as possible.

Question 4

How do I find the best car hire deals in Oakland with Expedia?

Accepted Answer

Expedia makes it a breeze to compare fees, offers and hire providers, and to check reviews. Combine your Oakland car hire with hotel or flight bookings to save even more.

Question 5

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

Accepted Answer

Rental vehicle rules in Oakland require drivers to be 21 and older. Are you a young driver? Surcharges and restrictions could apply. Hire companies impose what's known as a young driver surcharge, which is an additional fee to the rental car cost. Restrictions generally apply to the types of cars young motorists can hire as well. Age limits may differ between providers, so check before booking.

Question 6

What do you need to hire a car in Oakland?

Accepted Answer

Before you can road trip around Oakland, you'll need a valid driver's license and a credit card in the same name. If you choose not to take out the hire company's insurance place, you may also have to provide proof of alternative coverage. Requirements can vary, so read the policy terms and conditions before you choose a rental provider.

Question 7

What is the cheapest car hire in Oakland?

Accepted Answer

Oakland has had some very happy hire car drivers lately. Daily rates within the past seven days were as low as £31 and £32. 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 8

Can I hire a car for a month or longer in Oakland?

Accepted Answer

You can, and the good news is suppliers often offer lower prices the longer you rent. Check out our long-term car hire deals in Oakland and cruise off with a real bargain.

Question 9

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

Accepted Answer

Age policies are different between hire suppliers, so be prepared to do a bit of shopping around. Found an Oakland outlet that does rent to drivers under 25? Terrific! Just be aware that extra charges often apply to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each hire car you're considering will have all the details you need.

Question 10

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

Accepted Answer

If you don't have a license from the U.S, you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S., note that you'll also need 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 vehicle must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Other things you should know about hired cars in the U.S. Are:

Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in many states in order to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the car hire company before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse off-road areas with your car hire. Please read the regulations before booking!
