Rules may vary between providers, so be sure to read the fine print carefully.
What do you need to rent a car in Alameda?
Generally, all that's required is a driver's licence and a credit card in the same name when collecting the keys to your car.

Where can I find an Alameda car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look into the age policy of the Alameda rental providers you're considering. If you're under 25 years of age, some will charge additional fees. It's handy to know this in advance so you can budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own terms and conditions for young drivers, so do your research.
