Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Hayward car reservation?
When you cancel at least six hours ahead of pickup, most bookings qualify for a complete refund. However, not all are eligible for this, so it's important to read your policy. Read through your confirmation for the details or go to our Customer Service Portal for more information.
What types of cars can I rent in Hayward?
Not too small yet not too big, compact vehicles are the number one choice for many rental customers in Hayward. Offering exceptional mileage and easy parking and manoeuvrability, they're ideal for getting around the city. A compact car is slightly roomier than an economy vehicle, so you can travel around in a little extra comfort and style. Need a bit more legroom? Check out our intermediate, standard or full-size range.
Where can I go on a road trip from Hayward?
Hayward is full of fun adventures, but don't restrict yourself to only one place. Organise a set of wheels and hit the road to see what else awaits in the wider region. Here are some ideas:

  • Minneapolis - St. Paul is 145 kilometres from Hayward. Popular attractions like Mall of America deserve to be high on your must-see list while you're in town.
  • Situated 161 kilometres away, La Crosse is also popular with travellers. Allow time to get to La Crosse Centre while you're here. It's one of the reasons people love visiting this buzzing city.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Hayward?

What do you need to rent a car in Hayward?
Be prepared to present your driver's licence and a credit card when you get to the rental counter. Prior to the pickup date, check with your rental provider whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of auto insurance.

Where can I find a Hayward car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver looking to rent a car in Hayward, we recommend reading the terms and conditions of the rental companies you're interested in.
