How old do you have to be to rent a car in Berkeley?
Berkeley rules state drivers must be 21 and above before they can rent a car. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra cost and some choice restrictions. Many companies impose a daily young renter fee on top of the standard car rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like economy and compact) are available to young drivers, restrictions generally apply to luxury and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Berkeley?
Any rental company you select will require two things — your driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you'd prefer to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your wheels.

Yes, and you'll find your perfect ride on our long-term car rental deals page. Simply enter your trip information and we'll show you awesome options from a range of reliable providers.
Where can I find a Berkeley car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental companies, so you'll have to do a little shopping around. Managed to find a Berkeley supplier that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? Awesome! Just keep in mind that an extra charge often applies to drivers between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're looking at will have all the details you need.
