How old do you have to be to rent a car in Oakland?
Hire vehicle rules in Oakland require drivers to be 21 and over. Are you a young driver? Surcharges and restrictions could apply. Rental outlets impose what is known as a young driver surcharge, which is an additional fee to the car hire cost. Restrictions usually apply to the categories of cars young drivers can rent as well. Age limits may vary between outlets, so check before you book.

Where can I find an Oakland hire car if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental suppliers, so you'll have to do some research. Found an Oakland outlet that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? Great news! Just bear in mind that some companies charge additional fees to drivers between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're considering should have all the details you need.
Can I drive in Oakland with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license issued in the United States, you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence 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 driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to hire the car must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Some additional requirements for hiring a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states in order to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the company you're hiring from before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your car hire. Please read the details before you book!
