MINI Clubman 2010

This rental experience was awesome. Accessing the car was very simple and straightforward. The driving experience was also very worth it. My only reservation with recommending this car is that too many people may catch on to how good it is of a value and it may not be available for me the next time I need it. But I want to give credit or credit is due and I highly recommend checking it out for yourself.

It drove smoothly throughout my road trip to Yosemite and had no issues at all. The host was friendly, responsive, and made the pickup and drop-off process quick and easy with clear instructions. I would definitely rent this car again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and enjoyable ride. Thank you for making my trip even better!

Bentley Continental GT 2016

This is an incredibly clean and sexy English luxury car that I have had on my bucket list for a long time. Though the car is 10 years old, you would not know it from how perfectly clean the body and rims are. The car drives like an English sports car, similar to an Austin Martin. The stealth Gray paint is very attractive. The host was very responsive and easy to deal with.

Rent a car and explore Fremont, CA

Things to do and places to see in Fremont, CA

Fremont may be a little overshadowed by the bigger Bay Area cities around it, like San Francisco and Berkeley, but there are still a lot of unique areas in the city waiting to be discovered.

Rent the perfect car
Fremont, California

Explore Fremont's silent film history

Enjoy learning about film? Rent a car and head to the Niles' lower district, where you'll find the Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum. Before Hollywood, there was Fremont, CA, the birthplace of the silent film industry, where stars like Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton made names for themselves. This quaint neighborhood still exudes a lot of charm with its antique stores and old coffee shops.

Big Basin Redwoods State Park

Nature lovers will find magic amidst the stunning redwood trees in Big Basin Redwoods State Park. The park is in Santa Cruz County, but it's only about an hour outside Fremont, and very well worth the drive. Whether you hike the Meteor or Dool trail, there are hikes suited to every hiking level. Just keep in mind that the road through the park is narrow, so consider renting a compact car rather than a large SUV if you plan to make this unforgettable drive. And staff members recommend bringing lots of water and snacks.

Aqua Adventure Water Park

For families with kiddies in tow, Aqua Adventure Water Park is a wonderful place to park your family for the day. This 3-acre water park has lots of slides and pools for the little ones to enjoy. And right next door, the Fremont skate park gives older kids a chance to show off their skills. But if you just want to float down a lazy river to wade in a pool, the water park can be an ideal spot to spend a summer day in Fremont.

Top tips for renting a car in Fremont

Traffic can be heavy in Fremont, especially with commuters coming from San Jose or the Bay Area. Here are some tips for driving, navigating, and parking in Fremont.

What are the road rules and driving conditions in Fremont?

Speed limits in Fremont, on average, start at 20–25 miles per hour in residential neighborhoods. On boulevards and larger roads, this speed increases to 40–45 miles per hour. Freeways, like the I-880, typically allow speed limits of 65–70 miles per hour.

While traffic is fairly manageable, there is often heavy rush hour coming off the I-880 from the north (Oakland) and the south (San Jose). Fremont experiences mild summers and winters, but occasionally you may see fog rolling in from the Bay Area, reducing visibility.

What is parking like in Fremont?

In downtown Fremont, there are plenty of metered parking spots along Capitol Avenue, State Street, and Liberty Street. You can also leave your ride in a parking garage, like the Capital Avenue Garage or the Fremont Hub Shopping Center parking lot. Alternatively, park your rental car at a BART station and take the BART to San Francisco or Oakland. If you're in town for the weekend, keep in mind that parking spots can fill up quickly, especially at hot spots like Lake Elizabeth at Central Park.

Are there toll roads in Fremont?

The Fremont area has a few toll roads and bridges, including the Dumbarton Bridge connecting Fremont to Menlo Park, as well as express lanes on the I-880, I-680, and I-580. Toll amounts vary, and carpooling may reduce your cost on some routes. Plan ahead and check for the latest toll schedules before your trip.

Are there gas stations and EV chargers in Fremont?

Fuel your rental car at gas stations along the I-880 or Central Ave. There's a Shell and 7-Eleven gas station on Blacow Rd as well. Electric vehicle drivers can recharge their EVs at the EVgo charging station on Blacow Rd or the 7Charge Charging Station on Fremont Blvd. To find more EV charging stations, use the Waze or PlugShare apps.

Do I need to rent a car in Fremont?

Fremont is served by the BART station, which goes to San Jose, Oakland, and San Francisco. However, most locations within Fremont aren't easily accessible by public transit. If you're booking a car rental in Fremont so you can visit Lake Elizabeth, the city's water park, or even the Dumbarton Quarry Campground, you'll probably need to rent a vehicle.
