FAQs about renting a car at Charlottesville Albemarle airport

    To rent a car at the airport, it is mandatory that all customers are in possession of a valid driver’s license that is government-issued and will not expire during your rental period. If you do not have a license from the United States, you can still rent a car with an alternative license, such as an international license or a license from a foreign country. If you will be using either of these, make sure that you have your passport on hand, as the company that you choose to rent with will most likely want to have a photocopy of it in your file.

Once you have signed any necessary paperwork, provided a payment method, and received your car keys, a company employee will lead you to your vehicle. All fleets are located just a short walking distance from the rental center, which is also a quick walk from the main terminal.

  • What amenities are available for customers at the car rental center at Charlottesville Airport?

They cancelled my reservation because they didn’t have any cars. No apology. I then had to wait for a ride or pay $300 for an Uber. Poor process. If there wasn’t cars to rent, I shouldn’t have been given the option to reserve one.

They didn’t have a car - any car! Had to wait an extra 1.5-2 hours and ride to a local body shop to get the not-cleaned car.
