Car rentals in Hayward are often utilized to navigate throughout the entire Bay Area, so the recommended vehicle is an economy or compact car. A smaller vehicle will allow you to navigate the tight streets of San Francisco, keep up with traffic on the many interstates, and take advantage of the efficient fuel economy as you take in the shores of San Francisco Bay.

Cons:
I picked a Toyota rav 4 to reserve it online for only one way trip but when I got there in Hayward to pickup the Toyota RAV4 the lady said you are late & we cannot hold the vehicle after 1 hr of opening , so the lady offered 5 vehicles left to choose from , they are family vans & luxury cars , they are more money to rent , on the spot had to pay more to rent the vehicle. Picked up the van it was dirty . I paid $163. Just for one day rental plus refundable $200. For insurance. Quite expensive if I say wouldn’t u think . I asked if there was a discount, the lady said no . So is it my fault because I am an hour late to pick up the car? They did not mention in their website to pick-up on time and they will not hold the vehicle. Really, I had such a horrible experience with this company. I don’t recommend to anyone.2,0 Poor
