Can I drive in Oakland with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license issued in the U.S, you might need to get 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., know that you'll also have to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to hire the car must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Additional requirements for hire cars 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, and with the hire car company before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When hiring a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or go off-roading with a hired car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
