Apparently, silver bullets and fire also work, as well as beheading. This site claims that sunlight is a myth, and that in medieval times, vampires walked amongst everyone else in the daytime.

Apparently, you need to first determine the ethnic origin of the Vampire in question. Next...locate Vampire and administer according to the following:
Sampiro - Albania - Stake through heart
Nachtzehrer - Bavaria - Place coin in mouth, decapitate with ax
Ogoljen - Bohemia - Bury at crossroads
Krvoijac - Bulgaria - Chain to grave with wild roses
Kathakano - Crete - Boil head in vinegar
Brukalaco - Greece - Cut off and burn head
Vampir - Hungary - Stake through heart, nail through temples
Dearg-dul - Ireland - Pile stones on grave
Vryolakas - Macedonia - Pour boiling oil on, drive nail through navel
Upier - Poland - Bury face downwards
Gierach - Prussia - Put poppy seeds in grave
Strigoiul - Rumania - Remove heart, cut in two; garlic in mouth, nail in head
Vlkoslak - Serbia - Cut off toes, drive nail through neck
Neuntoter - Saxony - Lemon in mouth
Vampiro - Spain - No known remedy

The Spanish just have to put up with them? That explains a lot. Such as Antonio Banderas.
In Gary Sosnowski's mildly amusing recent novel "Vamped," garlic, crucifixes, and all other traditional vampire-fighters' impedimenta are useless, but vampires weary of eternal life (and an eternal diet of blood) can commit suicide by crashing their cars and going up in flames:
