Question 9

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

Accepted Answer

You'll need to look into the age policy of the Downtown Oakland rental suppliers you're considering. If you're under the age of 25, some will charge additional costs. It's handy to know this before collecting the vehicle so you can budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own policies for young drivers, so it'd be wise to do your research.

Question 10

What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Downtown Oakland?

Accepted Answer

A comprehensive insurance plan is a wise choice for your Downtown Oakland vacation. That's why we suggest purchasing collision protection while organizing your rental car with Expedia. This insures your vehicle against theft, vandalism and accident damage. Some destinations may also require a minimum level of liability insurance. This may already be included in your rental cost or your personal auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and if you need it.
