Frequently asked questions

How do I find the best rates on an Oakland Dollar car rental?

CarRentals.com strives to get you the lowest price, no matter when you book. But booking ahead of time can help you save even more. Make sure to keep the car under one driver's name and check the mileage policy to avoid any unexpected fees.

Do I need to bring anything special when I get my car rental in Oakland?

Make sure to carry with you credit card, as well as your driver's license.

How old do I have to be to rent a car in Oakland?

Most suppliers in Oakland require that you at least be 21 years old to rent a car. Take time to review Dollar's policy, as there may be additional fees if you are under 25 or for higher category cars in particular.

What kind of Dollar rental car should I get for my trip to Oakland?

That all depends on your needs and what you'll be doing when you visit Oakland. Compact or economy vehicles are good for short drives and are easier to park. Commute times in Oakland average 26 minutes, so you may find a SUV or mid-size car provides a more comfortable ride. Or if you want to keep your emissions down, then choose a hybrid vehicle. Those looking for a dash of luxury on their Oakland getaway can choose the premium category for a car like an Audi A4 or Cadillac XTS or similar.

Is insurance required when you rent a car in the United States?

You are required to have insurance before you rent from Dollar in the United States. Many of the major credit card issuers (Discover, American Express, Visa and MasterCard) generally cover your car rental. However, many of them have restrictions, such as not covering larger vehicles, like trucks or SUVs. Be sure to find out by calling your credit card company to find out what kind of coverage is offered before you head to Oakland. Otherwise, as a United States citizen, you can also book Collision Damage Coverage with CarRentals.com at checkout.

Does Dollar require a deposit at the time of booking my rental car?

Dollar requires a deposit when you book your rental. Dollar will block the deposit on your credit once you reserve your rental for your trip to Oakland. Please note that the deposit can vary greatly depending on the make and model of the rental.

What is the fuel policy on my Dollar car rental?

We recommend a full tank policy. You should receive your automobile with a full tank, and you will want to refuel up to the amount you picked the car up with. If you want to keep your expenses lower, it is best to fill up your tank before you bring your car back to Dollar. Stations close to airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.

Should I get unlimited miles when I rent a car in Oakland?

Oakland has enough to keep you entertained, but you may want to head to nearby cities to see what else California has to offer. You can explore the rest of the area free of mileage limits after you've checked off all the activities in Oakland. If you want to add some excitement to your Oakland trip, you can also drive to Children's Fairyland and spend an evening riding the park's attractions.

Does Oakland Dollar offer one-way car rentals?

Dollar typically offers one-way rentals. You may find it easier to return your rental car at a different location. However, there is typically an additional charge when you choose one-way.
