How old do you have to be to rent a car in Hayward?
Drivers aged 21 and above can go road-tripping around Hayward in a rental car. If you’re a young driver, a daily surcharge will apply. You’ll generally have fewer car categories to pick from, such as economy and mid-size, and may also have to purchase comprehensive insurance. Be sure to enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to find out if any restrictions apply to you.
What do you need to rent a car in Hayward?
Be prepared to present your driver’s license and a credit card at the home counter. Prior to pickup, check with your selected home company whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of insurance.

Where can I find a Hayward car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether you can rent a vehicle if you are under 25 years old in Hayward often depends on the home supplier you select. Some outlets have a surcharge for young customers aged between 21 and 24 years, whereas other companies may not have any extra costs for this age group. It’d be wise to understand the terms and conditions of your preferred car rental dealer to escape extra costs at the home desk.
Can I drive in Hayward with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license issued in the United States, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S, note that you’ll also need to show your valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 in many states to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you book to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your home. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
