Where can I find an Oakland hire car if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver hoping to hire a car in Oakland, we recommend checking the policies of the various hire companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be additional fees if you're between 21 and 24 years old. To escape any surprises at the hire desk, make sure you do your research.
Can I drive in Oakland with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the United States, then you might 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 for you to drive in the U.S, be aware that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to hire the car must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Other things you should know about hired a car in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in most states to be able to hire a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the hired car company before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off to avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or go off-roading with your hired vehicle. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
