Knowing local laws helps prevent fines and makes your driving experience smoother.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Oakland, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70
