Moreover, some vehicle classes, including exotics, large passenger van rentals, and cargo van rentals, are not allowed to travel across international borders. Car rentals in Hayward, including Avis and Enterprise, need to be notified if you're planning to travel into Canada so that they can issue you a Canadian non-resident insurance card at no extra cost. Most car rental locations in Hayward don't allow travel into Mexico, and those that do will require you to purchase additional insurance to protect your vehicle while driving in Mexico.

Can you rent a car in Hayward without a credit card?

Yes, you can get cheap car rentals in Hayward without a credit card. However, credit cards are the most preferred means of payment. Debit cards are the other acceptable means of payment for car rentals in Hayward. Companies like Avis, Enterprise, and SIXT accept debit cards; however, paying with a debit card would mean that you are subject to an in-depth creditworthiness check, and there are some other requirements you will need to meet. First, renters paying with debit cards must be at least 25 or older. The renter's name must appear on the debit card. Additionally, renters paying with debit cards will be limited to renting particular cars, including electric car rentals and luxury car rentals. Some rental companies like Enterprise may allow cash payments, but only for settling any balances at the end of your rental period.

What driving laws should I keep an eye out for in Hayward?

All passengers in the vehicle that are eight years or older must be strapped in with a seatbelt according to California law. Children below eight should be in a safety or booster seat as appropriate, and those below four should be in a rear-facing safety seat. When driving car rentals in Hayward, stick to the right side of the road; the left lane is reserved for passing. Right turns on a red light are allowed in Hayward unless a sign prohibits it. Also, left turns on a red light are allowed if you're coming from a one-way street and joining another one-way street. Turn your headlights on around 30 minutes before sunrise and around 30 minutes after sunset. Drinking and driving is an offense in Hayward and driving with a BAC higher than 0.08% will get you arrested and fined. Stick to 25 mph if you're driving within a school zone, business, or residential district. You can go as high as 55 mph on two-lane undivided highways and between 65-70 mph on the interstates and highways. All the same, remember to check with the Hayward DMV for any recent traffic law updates before driving a car rental.

What documents does an international traveler need in order to rent a car in Hayward?

International drivers looking to get Hayward car rentals must meet the age requirements and have a credit or debit card in their name to rent a car. All international drivers must be at least 21 years old with a valid driver's license from their home country bearing their name and picture. If the license is in another language other than English, an international driving license is required for translation purposes, especially if the language doesn't use letters of the Latin alphabet. If the international driving license cannot be secured, another professional type-written translation may be used accompanied by the driver's license.
