Berkeley, CA is home to the famous UC Berkeley. In fact, UC Berkeley is the oldest of the campus of the University of California. Berkeley, CA is located on the eastern shore of the San Francisco Bay. The city of Berkeley, CA goes from the shore line to the ridge line that over looks the San Francisco Bay. From the city of Berkeley you have a beautiful view of the Golden Gate Bridge and the San Francisco Bay. From the campus of UC Berkeley you can see all the way to the Pacific Ocean.

Besides being the home to UC Berkeley, Berkeley, CA is also known as the most liberal city in the nation. It has been said by others that the city of Berkeley, CA is the third most politically liberal city in the United States. Berkeley, CA is known for it's tolerance and acceptance of same sex relationships. This is just one aspect that makes this a liberal city. Their views and strong feeling towards politics has been seen since the 1960's when protests took place on the college campus.

If you are visiting Berkeley either for the campus or the beautiful scenery then it would be wise to employee the use of a car hire. A rental car is the best way to get around the area. The Berkeley area is a very liberal area rich in education and history. This is the perfect tourist location. A car hire can give you the freedom to no only explore the city of Berkeley but also the surrounding cities around the San Francisco Bay.

What most people want to know

The following questions and answers are a selection of the most popular questions. If you do not find the answer to your question, have a look at the Frequently Asked Questions page or contact us.

Is Carrentals.co.uk the cheapest?

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

 What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

 Are there any additional costs?

In general, our rates are all-inclusive. Should there be any additional costs, our booking department will get in touch with you before issuing the invoice. Should you object, you can always cancel your reservation with no obligations attached (at least 48 hours in advance).

What kind of insurance is applicable to my car rental?

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

 What is a worry-free label?

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.
