Book ahead of time. This is a small, but friendly, location. They run out of cars from time to time.

Don't prepay and make multiple reservations. The lack of cars was worst with Budget, but it looked like other companies also had problems.

Driving in Richmond was great! Having an SUV with a bright color is helpful with maintaining visibility amidst dense traffic.

KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Richmond

  • Get the most out of your time in Richmond by renting a car and exploring the city and surroundings in your own time. If you want to visit the Richmond Raceway for a car race, having a rental car means you are just 13 minutes away. Nature lovers may also want to visit the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden, about 8 miles north of Richmond and only a 12-minute drive away.
  • Start your time in Richmond stress-free and pick up a rental car upon landing at Richmond International Airport. This airport features its own car rental center with nine agencies providing vehicles of all shapes and sizes. Located on the lower level at the entrance of the terminal building, finding a car and being on your way to the city will only take a matter of minutes.
  • Especially during the Christmas season and the cold months, Richmond has an enchanting vibe because of its snowy winters. For driving, this means to prepare properly and making sure the rental car is equipped accordingly with winter tires and even snow chains. It is also very important to slow down when the streets are covered in snow, and bear in mind that lanes may be narrower due to plows piling up snow on either side.
  • Speeding in the state of Virginia is really not a good idea – it should be refrained from in general, but in Richmond you may even be charged with reckless driving. Familiarize yourself with speed regulations beforehand and never go faster than 70 mph, as speeders are fined severely in and around Richmond. Always pace your speed and adhere to the posted speed limit signs.
  • Cheap car rentals in Richmond are readily available. When you get behind the wheel of your rental car, be sure to adhere to the prevailing regulations, such as the speed limit. The city speed limit for Richmond is 25 mph, the same as the surrounding centers and other urban centers. On the other hand, the suburban speed limit is 75 mph, and the highway speed limit is 75 mph as well. Richmond strictly enforced speed limits, so don’t take chances.
  • If your travel plans to Richmond allow, you can book a weekly car rental for a better deal. Even if you don’t plan on staying for a whole week, consider checking the rental rates for seven days. You might be surprised that it’s less than you’d have paid for five days. And, the discounts get even better if you are staying for longer. During your stay, consider going on a road trip to Richmond. For instance, you can go to Virginia Beach, which is around 87 miles from Richmond.
  • Parking fees at accommodations can sneak up on you and throw you off budget with Richmond car rentals. Some hotels charge so much for overnight parking. And others don’t have a place to park at all – which can be quite the struggle. However, Richmond has several paid opportunities you can take advantage of. Something to keep in mind is that Richmond is quite a busy town, and traffic builds up during rush hours. During peak hours – usually early mornings and evenings – you want to avoid traffic hotspots in town, such as Highways 60, 65, 95, 301, and 360.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Richmond for C$ 68 or less
  • Intermediate rental cars in Richmond are around 70% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about renting a car in Richmond

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Richmond?

    Especially when visiting during winter months, opting for a 4-wheel drive car can be a wise decision as it provides the necessary traction and can handle the harsh conditions better. An SUV or minivan guarantee enough space but are not too bulky when cruising through the city, making a good alternate option.

  • What’s the speed limit in Richmond?

    Reckless driving is taken very seriously in Virginia and categorized as a criminal offense, so adhering to speed limits is crucial. If there is no sign posted, 25 mph is permitted in residential areas, 55 mph is allowed on secondary roads (which are marked with a sign beginning with #600 or above). The highest speed limit on freeways is 70 mph, but it should also be adjusted to weather and road conditions.

  • Where are the best places to park in Richmond?

    There are various parking opportunities in Richmond, including metered on-street parking, garages, and parking lots.

After researching the cars available at multiple locations, I selected this place specifically because of the car that they said was available, which I reserved. When I got there, they told me that car was not available but that they would put me in a smaller car for the same price. There was a car available there that was one class larger than the car I had selected but they told me that would be more expensive however they would be happy to charge me the difference. The staff was nice but I left feeling unsatisfied. I think, since it was the fault of the company that my selected car (and car class) was not available they should have offered the next class up for no additional charge. They told me this was not possible. This was definitely a missed customer service opportunity, possibly by the company and not necessarily the staff since they told me it just couldn't be done. Again the staff was very nice but I left feeling unsatisfied and disappointed.

I had made a reservation and had a budget confirmation number. When I arrived at the desk to pick up my car, the clerk said that budget does not honor reservations made the same day, because they have to prioritize other customers. I had an hour and 15 minute drive ahead of me to a town where my high school friends funeral was occurring the next day, and it was too late for any other options.

I WAITED ALL THAT TIME TO BE HANDED A CAR THAT DIDN'T FUNCTION PROPERLY (A TESLA THAT CUT OFF/SHUT DOWN SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING) AND WASN'T FULLY CHARGED WHEN I GOT THERE. THEY DON'T SEEM TO BE IN ANY RUSH AT ALL NOR DO THEY SEEM TO CARE/TAKE THEIR JOB SERIOUSLY. THE RETURN WAS QUICK AND EASY...BUT I KNEW THAT WAS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. I WAS CHARGED FOR TWO EXTRA DAYS BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T GET AROUND TO CHECKING IN THE CAR UNTIL THEY FELT LIKE IT. IT WAS SUCH A HASSLE DEALING WITH HERTZ TO GET THE MONEY BACK. WHEW CHIL THE GHETTO!!! NEVVVVEEEERRRRRRRRRRR AGAIN!!!

The usb port was not functioning so I couldn’t connect my phone to the screen to see navigation. I had to balance the phone on the dash or hold it the entire time which made for a very stressful driving experience. Also unclear instructions in the parking garage led me to choose an electric vehicle initially which I then had to return. Disappointed.

There’s was no Hertz at drop off. So, I had to go somewhere else and was still charged extra! Do not recommend

It was easy to pick the car up and the staff was very friendly. I wasn’t, however, crazy about the fact that they gave me a Prius (I wanted a compact not a hybrid). Drop off was a little tough to figure, I think you just need better signage. All in all, a pretty good experience.

Pros:

The staff was amazing! When we learned it was not at the airport we were concerned, however, we should not have been. A quick call (when we landed early) and moments later someone was there to pick us up. The driver was incredibly personable and professional. Arrived at the office and our car was "spiffed" up and ready to go. The staff could not have been better or more efficient. I would definitely use this service in Richmond again!

Cons:

We had an excellent experience. When we returned the car, someone drove us to the airport in the same car that was packed up. Super happy!

Pros:

Will never use this company again. And the fact that you allow them to post on your site is reprehensible. I had nothing but issues to start with they moved during the night (their words) before I picked up and they had not left a forwarding address until I called. It appears they are at the airport but they are not which adds to issues. I blew a tire on the way to my destination and they were no help. I called the car manufacturer to get a tow and paid for the tire replacement myself. There is also large scratch on vehicle which I am sure will be an issue. I have already turned over to my insurance company to handle. Clearly something hit the car and caused tire to blow. ABSOLUTELY NO HELP WHATSOEVER. SHADY COMPANY. DO NOT USE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

Cons:

NO SUPPORT. SOMETHING ISN'T RIGHT WITH THIS PLACE. NOT SURE WHAT IT IS BUT IT'S NOT WORTH YOUR MONEY OR TIME. DO NOT RENT FROM THEM. NEVER AGAIN. CAR WAS ACTUALLY NICE AND NISSAN WAS WAY BIGGER HELP WITH TIRE ISSUE THAN ACTUAL RENTAL COMPANY. INEPT AT BEST.

Spoke to kayak rep before driving an hour to pick up the rental and he assured me I could rent it with a debit card as I was traveling and didn’t have my credit card. I got there just before close to be turned away by Alamo reps who were rude and unhelpful. I will never use kayak or Alamo again.

The driver's seat (cloth) stunk, and made my clothes stink. This should have been caught before renting out.

Pros:

Nothing, we got in at midnight and just wanted to go to our hotel but all the staff at the airport had already left and locked us in the parking garage. We were left stranded in a town we didn't know well and had to scramble for a late-night uber (of which there were almost none).

Cons:

Someone could've been there to let us out so we could go safely to our hotel

Alamo cancelled my reservation. I received a voice message on my phone when I was making my connection at O'Hare. When I arrived at Richmond they did nothing to help. I called the Alamo Customer Service number - would be on hold waiting for over 20 minutes each time I called. The only way you could get someone to answer a call was to choose the "Make a Reservation" option. Appears like the only time they would answer the phone is when they think they were going to get money. I had 4 different times when someone said they would call me back with some information. No one ever called me back. The manager at the Richmond Alamo counter provided me with no options. I had to press them to get information about being compensated for my Uber charges. I tried to get a car the next day and they still didn't have any available. With today's technology there is no excuses on why they could not have contingency plans in place to ensure they have enough cars based on the number of reservations they have booked. I will never rent another car from Alamo or Enterprise again. In Richmond they had 15 to 20 SUV's in the garage, when I asked about them then said that they were reserved. If my reservations got cancelled because I booked through Kayak and had a lower rate I will need to rethink about using Kayak. Having no car for the 3 days made it very difficult doing business and also on my client you had to chauffer me around the entire time. Alamo definitely demonstrated to me that they don't care about my business.
