The Rental Car Center is about 10min away from the terminals at the airport's North Field. Upon arrival, you can exit the baggage claim area and reach it using the Rental Car Shuttle, running between the terminals and center. The bus is accessible around the fourth curb in front of Terminal 1 and 2, leaving approximately every 10min.
You can find self-service kiosks that let you directly check-in without needing the rental counter service. In addition, you can quickly receive a receipt-sized rental agreement that you can present with your driver's license at the exit booth when driving out in the rented vehicle. The Rental Car Center has drop boxes for the different companies in the return area, aiding you when dropping off your car after hours.
The Rental Car Center's proximity to the terminals enhances your convenience when getting a car rental at Oakland Airport. Enterprise, Avis, Budget, Alamo, and Thrifty are some of the most convenient rental companies at the airport, offering free cancellation and enhanced cleaning. Moreover, you can avoid long waits and skip the counter using the Fastbreak or Accelerated Check-in policy given by certain companies like Budget and Alamo.
Most companies at Oakland Airport's Rental Car Center require you to be at least 21 years to get a vehicle, with drivers aged between 21 and 24 incurring an underage surcharge. They must also possess an approved credit card and a valid driving license. Notably, the license must include your photograph because most car rental companies do not accept digital licenses. International travelers can obtain Oakland Airport car rental services by showing a valid foreign license with an optional International Driver's Permit (IDP). However, the IDP is compulsory for translation purposes when the foreign driving license uses a non-Latin-based alphabet.
Based on ratings and reviews from real users on KAYAK, the best car hire companies at Oakland Airport are Hertz (7,6, 86 reviews), Budget (6,8, 134 reviews), and Thrifty (6,2, 75 reviews).
Car hire companies that offer shuttle or pick-up services from Oakland Airport to off-airport locations include Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Fox, Hertz, National, Payless, and Thrifty.

I booked through a 3rd party and they accepted my reservation but when I arrived they said they were sold out for a few days. They were able to help me but stressed me out about it first. 3rd party should know exact inventory to prevent this.2,0 Poor

Sorry my bad. I screwed up. Will actually not fully my fault. I did indicate I wanted to rent from SFO airport and it also apparently gave me options for Oakland airport rentals and I rented a car from there without realizing. Duh! Will anyway it was nonrefundable and I'm screwed out of $140. So since kayak sent me a request via email for a review of my car rental it's fair to say it didn't go so well!2,0 Poor

I reserved the car and was scheduled to pick it up at 8PM. I showed up a little bit late, and I assume this would be no problem, because the Oakland Airport Rental Car Center is open 24 hours a day. When I got to the car rental center, no one was at the Payless desk, and another lady told me that Payless closes at 8PM. So why would I be allowed to reserve a car for pickup at the time that the desk closes? So anyway, I had to change my trip plans because I had no rental car.6,0 Okay

Melanie, Feb 2021
Cons:
I called Alamo twice to confirm that my SUV rental would be AWD as this was the sole reason for my rental to drive into snowy weather and both times was told I would have AWD with any SUV rental. However, at OAK airport I was told I am not guaranteed AWD and in additional OAK airport is the only Alamo location in the Bay Area that charges an additional fee for AWD. Eventually the agent did make an effort to help me get what we needed but the experience was unnecessarily disconcerting.2,0 Poor
