Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Oakland car reservation?
We’ve got good news! You should get a total refund if you cancel at least six hours ahead of the scheduled pickup time. Your itinerary contains information about this, as does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid rentals result in a refund though, so it’s a good idea to scan your car rental policy.
What types of cars can I rent in Oakland?
Ease of parking, affordability and great mileage are some of the reasons compact cars are the number once choice in Oakland. Their smaller size makes them perfect for city driving. They’re a good match for solo adventurers, couples and those on a budget. Of course, how you cruise around is your call! Go even smaller with a mini or economy, or give yourself more room with an intermediate or a full-size. Chasing a little luxury? You’ll love our premium options.

What do you need to rent a car in Oakland?
A valid driver’s license and a credit card in the same name are necessities. Opting out of the company’s insurance plan? If that’s the case, you may need proof of other coverage. Requirements may differ between rental companies, so read your policy thoroughly.

Where can I find an Oakland car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to look up the age policy of the Oakland rental providers you’re considering. If you’re under the age of 25, be aware that some will charge additional costs. It’s good to know about this before arriving at the desk so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own terms and conditions for younger drivers, so it’s smart to do your research.
