Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Virginia car reservation?
We've got good news! You should get all of your money back if you advise us at least six hours before pickup. Your itinerary contains details about this, as does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid reservations will receive a refund though, so it's a good idea to read through the car's cancellation policy.
What types of cars can I rent in Virginia?
Affordably priced, a cinch to handle and fuel-efficient, it's no wonder compact cars are the most commonly booked rental type in Virginia. Tour this city in one of these and you'll be able to slide into tight parking spaces and easily navigate busy streets. A compact is ideal for city escapes or shorter road trips. But they're not your only choice. Go even smaller with an economy model or bigger with a full-size or premium — the choice is yours!

What do you need to rent a car in Virginia?
In most cases, all you'll need is a current driver's licence and credit card in your name when collecting the vehicle.

Requirements are likely to differ between rental outlets, so it's always a good idea to check the terms and conditions.
What side of the road do you drive on in Virginia?

Where can I find a Virginia car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the rental car companies located in Virginia. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages.
