What do you need to rent a car in Berkeley?
A current driver's license and a credit card in the same name are necessities. Don't want to take out the company's insurance plan? If that's the case, you may need proof of other coverage. The requirements may differ from rental company to rental company, so read through your policy.

Where can I find a Berkeley car rental if I am younger than 25?

Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be additional costs if you're aged between 21 and 24. To escape any unpleasant surprises at the rental desk, make sure you know exactly what to expect.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Berkeley?
