What do you need to rent a car in Berkeley?
Before you can hit the road in Berkeley, you'll need a valid driver's license and a credit card in the same name. If you don't take out the company's insurance policy, you may also have to show proof of your own coverage. Rules can vary, so understand the policy terms and conditions before you choose a rental company.
What side of the road do you drive on in Berkeley?
You'll be driving on the left-hand side of the road in Berkeley. This means that the driver's seat and controls are also on the other side to what you're used to. Allow ample time to familiarize yourself with your new wheels before hitting the road.

This will depend on the car rental companies located in Berkeley. They often have different age policies. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under 25, take note that additional fees may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before booking your rental.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Berkeley?
A comprehensive insurance plan is a good choice for your upcoming Berkeley vacation. That's why we recommend choosing collision protection while booking your rental car with Expedia. This insures your vehicle against theft, accident damage and vandalism. Some destinations may require you to have a minimum level of liability insurance. This might be included in your rental price or your personal auto insurance, so check what you're covered for.
Can I drive in Berkeley with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in England, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be able to rent a car. Please also consider that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll need to show your current license your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some additional requirements for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or over in most places to rent a car. If you're younger, it may still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of vehicles available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off the lot. You typically can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or go off-roading with a rental vehicle.
