KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Richmond

  • For travelers who prefer flexibility when exploring, renting a car is the most suitable choice in Richmond. You will find a variety of car rentals in Richmond to choose from. You can then drive to Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden which is 15min away from the center and you can also get a taste of the Richmond beer when you drive to the Hardywood Park Craft Brewery. If you traveled with your kids to Richmond, drive them to Metro Richmond Zoo where they will have a great time feeding the giraffes.
  • Passengers flying to Richmond will likely fly into Richmond Airport. Car rentals in Richmond have counters adjacent to baggage claim. Richmond car rentals require you to show your driver's permit when you arrive at the desks to receive your keys and printed rental document.  You can also request to be met at the security checkpoint, where the key-keeper will greet you, hand you your contract, and personally escort you to your vehicle.
  • Richmond is a mid-sized municipality with a fairly dense population, so traffic can be congested at times. The city's highway infrastructure is generally well-built to handle motorists, even during peak travel times. Drivers are constantly reminded to maintain their focus while driving in Richmond's outskirts and to keep a watch for cyclists and people who are getting out of parked cars on the side of the road. Driving in the city center can be nerve-racking. Drivers are reminded to maintain a safe distance between themselves and other vehicles in order to allow for reaction time.
  • During Richmond's rush hour, a few specific areas experience increased traffic congestion. The worst is likely to be I-95, which is notable for being congested at interchanges leading into and out of the city. Traffic can become extremely congested near the exits for I-195, I-64, and I-295. During morning commuter hours, I-64 is also very congested, with more traffic heading east into the city than west. The highway has a number of interchanges that are too close together to create a ripple effect that will likely slow your drive.
  • Small rental cars in Richmond are around 40% cheaper than other car types, on average
