KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Richmond

  • Renting cheap car rentals in Richmond provides flexibility in exploring nearby attractions like the George Ranch Historical Park and Brazos Bend State Park, which are not easily accessible by public transportation. Renting a car also offers convenience in moving around the city, especially if you are on a tight schedule or have several destinations to visit, as Richmond does not have a comprehensive public transport network. Additionally, travelers can quickly and easily reach various destinations in the surrounding areas, including Houston's downtown area, Space Center Houston, and the Houston Museum of Natural Science with Richmond car rentals.
  • Houston George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) is approximately 45 miles from Richmond. The car rental offices are located in the consolidated rental car facility, which is located off-site. The facility is accessible via the airport shuttle, which is located outside the baggage claim area at each terminal. The shuttle runs every five to seven minutes. Houston Hobby Airport (HOU) is approximately 37 miles from Richmond. The car rental offices are located on the ground level of the parking garage, which is adjacent to the terminal building. There is no airport shuttle to the car rental offices, but the walk from the terminal to the car rental offices is a short distance.
  • Driving cheap car rentals in Richmond requires a basic understanding of the rules and regulations of the city. There is a mix of drivers with different levels of experience and patience, so it is essential to remain attentive while on the road. Bicycles are also commonly seen on suburban roads, while larger trucks and buses are present on highways. Additionally, pedestrians have the right of way, and drivers should be mindful of their movements.
  • The peak traffic times in Richmond tend to be from 7:00 am to 9:00 am and 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm, especially around major intersections and highways. Drivers should plan accordingly to avoid getting stuck in traffic and plan extra time for their commute during peak hours. Lastly, drivers must also stay attuned to changing weather conditions, especially during the rainy season when the roads can become slippery, which usually presents a challenge when driving cheap car rentals in Richmond.
  • Book your rental car in Richmond at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

The roads in Richmond can be narrow and winding, and can often be wet due to the high humidity in the area. Therefore, an SUV or sedan will make a suitable rental car choice as they offer traction control can provide better handling in wet conditions and can maneuver around tight turns and narrow roads.

  • What’s the speed limit in Richmond?

    School zones in Richmond have a 20 mph speed limit, whereas residential areas have a 30 mph limit. On major roads and highways, the speed limit can go up to 70 mph.

Drivers should always be aware of their surroundings and follow posted speed limits to ensure the safety of themselves and others on the road.

  • Where are the best places to park in Richmond?

    In some parts of Richmond, street parking may be free but can be limited due to heavy traffic, and it is recommended to check for any signage indicating parking regulations and durations. In the downtown area, paid parking garages and lots are available, and it is recommended to pay for parking to avoid tickets and towing. The cost of parking varies depending on the location and length of stay, ranging from a few dollars to more than $20 per hour. Some public parking garages and lots offer a flat rate for all-day parking, which can be more cost-effective for travelers planning a full day out in the city.

Poor service, bad attitude, the office is too busy with excuses. Make reservations to pick up at 8 am and not ready till 10:30. Car was not cleaned, dog hair was on the car. Few trash left. When I return the car, the girl I believe she is a manager wants me to send the proofs that dogs hair was there before I pick up and vacuum the car or she will charge me. I don’t recall they give me the clean car when I pick it up. Never have problem with budget in the past. This is the first time that I have bad experience.

Pros:

Staff was super rude and unhelpful. Gave me a car that smelled of smoke which could not be smelled because they used the odor extractor but after an hour the stink was noticeable. I requested another car they did not hve any cars in my size so instead of giving me another car they wanted to charge me more for an SUV. Did not have the decency to apologize for the inconvenience. It has been a amonth since this happened and they still ahve not refunded me so I had to go through my credit card to dispute the charge.

Cons:

Need completely new staff. Disrespectful, Unwilling to help, and the manager is rude. They will nickel and dime you for everything. Did not even refund me for a car returned within an hour of pickup because it had a cigarette smell

The office was full of people waiting to rent a car to drive for Uber. They were all angry and yelling at me and the person working the desk because they didn’t know I had a private rental and they thought I was skipping the line ahead of them. It was a really scary environment and they were really out of control. The car I was given smelled like smoke so bad that it made me feel sick. I tried to air it out but it stayed. I tried to contact Hertz about the car and could not get a person to pick up the phone at the Sugarland location.

Customer service was very poor. I was not informed with anticipation that the car I had reserved was not available and the attendant rudely told me she only had an SUV vehicle available and that I had to pay more than double the price of my reserved vehicle. I will never go there ever again.
