How old do you have to be to rent a car in Oakland?
Rental car rules in Oakland require drivers to be 21 and over. Are you a young driver? A few surcharges and restrictions could apply.

Age limits may vary between companies, so check before you book.
What do you need to rent a car in Oakland?
Most of the time, all you'll need is a driver's licence and credit card in your name when collecting the keys to your car.
