Within the past seven days, the lowest daily price found for a budget car rental in Virginia was $45.

Question 2

What happens if I need to cancel my Virginia car reservation?

Accepted Answer

We appreciate that flexibility is important. That's why many prepaid rentals offer a complete refund if you let us know six hours ahead of the scheduled collection time. You may want to check the rental policy though because there are some exemptions. If you can't see any details there, make your way to our Customer Service Portal.

Question 3

Where can I go on a road trip from Virginia?

Accepted Answer

When you've covered all the well-known sights in Virginia, there's plenty more to see in the surrounding region. Collect the keys to a rental car, toss your bags in the trunk and hit the open road. We've come up with some drives we think you'll love:

You'll find Guinness Storehouse and many more intriguing sights in Dublin. From Virginia, it's approximately 45 miles away.
Approximately 110 miles away, Waterford is also popular with wanderers. Be sure to experience House of Waterford Crystal while you're in town. It's one of the reasons people love this vibrant city.
Get into the outdoors and inhale the fresh air at Bantry House. You'll find it around 180 miles from Virginia.

Question 4

How do I find the best car rental deals in Virginia with Expedia?

Accepted Answer

Scoring the best deal on your Virginia rental car is easy with Expedia. Choose your preferred ride, add some details and compare prices across major brands. Why not add flights and hotels to your booking? You'll get access to even bigger savings when you create a vacation package.

Question 5

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Virginia?

Accepted Answer

Rental vehicle rules in Virginia require drivers to be 21 and above. Are you a younger driver? Some surcharges and restrictions may apply. Rental providers impose what's known as a young driver surcharge, which is an extra fee to the rental car cost. Restrictions generally apply to the classes of cars young people can rent as well. Age limits may differ between companies, so check before booking.

Question 6

What do you need to rent a car in Virginia?

Accepted Answer

Two things — a valid driver's license and a credit card in your name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of other coverage if you opt out. Be sure to check with your supplier to avoid any hassles.

Question 7

What side of the road do you drive on in Virginia?

Accepted Answer

If you're renting a car in Virginia or planning a road trip in greater Ireland, prepare to drive on the left side of the road. Also, the steering wheel will be on a different side to what you're used to in the U.S. This may feel a little unfamiliar at first, so drive with extra caution.

Question 8

What is the cheapest car rental in Virginia?

Accepted Answer

The two lowest daily rates recorded in Virginia within the past seven days were $45 and $46. Now that's what we'd call a great deal! These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.

Question 9

Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Virginia?

Accepted Answer

Yes, so you won't have to rebook a rental car in the middle of your vacation. Head to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your travel dates and reserve a set of wheels to call your own for the length of your escape.

Question 10

Where can I find a Virginia car rental if I am younger than 25?

Accepted Answer

If you're a young driver hoping to book a rental in Virginia, it'd be wise to check the policies of the various car rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. Surcharges may apply if you're aged between 21 and 24. To avoid any surprises at the rental counter, make sure you know what those charges are if they apply to you.

Question 11

What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Virginia?

Accepted Answer

For a safe, stress-free getaway, add Expedia's collision damage protection to your rental car booking. This insurance covers your ride against collision damage, theft and vandalism. It also offers customers 24/7 emergency assistance in times of need. Opt in to this insurance while finalizing your Virginia vehicle with Expedia and save time and money at the rental desk.

Question 12

Can I drive in Virginia with my current driver's license?

Accepted Answer

If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Ireland, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be able to rent a car. Also consider that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll be asked to show your current license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some added requirements for international car rentals are:

Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it may still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to what kinds of cars you can rent.
Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off the lot. You typically can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car.
