Pickup near or at Airports
Lafayette may be a small town, but when it comes to getting around, a rental car is your best bet. Nestled in the East Bay, this charming enclave offers scenic drives, easy access to San Francisco, and weekend escapes to wine country. You’ll need your own set of wheels to make the most of it. Whether you're navigating winding hillside roads or making a quick trip down Highway 24, here’s what you need to know before you rent a car in Lafayette.
Driving in Lafayette CA is a mostly stress-free affair — until you hit rush hours on Highway 24 or the occasional narrow, winding road leading into the Berkeley Hills. Speed limits are strictly enforced, and with plenty of cyclists and pedestrians around, staying alert is a must. If you're heading into San Francisco, be prepared for more aggressive drivers, steep inclines, and the ever-present challenge of parallel parking on a hill.
Unlike its urban neighbors, Lafayette offers plenty of free parking, especially near shopping centers and local restaurants. Downtown lots fill up quickly on weekends, and street parking near popular spots like Lafayette Reservoir can be limited. If you're picking up a rental car for a day trip to Walnut Creek or Berkeley, check for designated rental vehicle parking to avoid unnecessary tickets.
While Lafayette itself doesn’t have toll roads, you’ll likely encounter them if you're heading into San Francisco via the Bay Bridge or taking a scenic drive across the Golden Gate Bridge. Most tolls are collected electronically, so check if your rental agreement includes a toll pass or be prepared to pay online. For those avoiding tolls altogether, there are longer — but often more scenic — routes available.
Fueling up in Lafayette is easy, with gas stations conveniently located near major intersections and highway entrances. If you're driving an EV rental, you'll find EV charging stations in downtown Lafayette, at shopping centers, and along Mt. Diablo Blvd. While charging infrastructure is growing, those heading into more rural areas should plan ahead to avoid range anxiety.
If you're planning to stay within downtown Lafayette, public transit and walking are viable options. But if you want to explore Napa Valley, venture to Lake Tahoe, or simply enjoy the flexibility of your own schedule, a rental car in Lafayette is essential. With limited rideshare availability in certain areas and a BART system that only gets you so far, having a rental vehicle ensures your trip is smooth, efficient, and entirely on your terms.
