A valid driver's license and a credit card in the same name are two essentials. Opting out of the company's insurance plan? Then there's a good chance you'll also need proof of your own coverage. The requirements may differ between rental companies, so have a thorough read of your policy.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Oakland?
Yes, so you won't have to rebook a rental car mid-vacation. Head over to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and secure a set of wheels to call your own for the length of your break.
Where can I find an Oakland car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether or not you can rent a car if you're under 25 years in Oakland often depends on the rental provider you select. Some businesses have a surcharge for young customers aged between 21 and 24 years, but other companies may not have any extra costs for this age bracket. It'd be wise to go through the terms and conditions of your selected rental company to escape unnecessary costs on pickup.
