Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Richmond car reservation?
When you cancel at least six hours prior to collecting the car, many prepaid rentals qualify for a refund. However, not every one is eligible for this, so it's important to read your rental agreement. Read through your booking for the details or go to our Customer Service Portal to find out more.
What types of cars can I rent in Richmond?
Dart around in a mini, splash out on a premium ride or go for something in between, like an intermediate. But it's hard to go past a compact car — the top pick in Richmond. They're a cinch to handle and park, fuel-efficient and a good idea if you're visiting busy cities. A step up from economy, you can expect a bit more comfort and room at a price that's still affordable.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Richmond?
In most cases, the rules are 21 years of age and over in Richmond. It should be pointed out that most outlets will apply a young renter surcharge. Check before you pick your ride, as rules may differ between rental car providers. Bear in mind that if you're planning to rent a specialty ride or a larger car like an SUV, rules may require drivers to be older than 21.
What do you need to rent a car in Richmond?
Be prepared to present a valid driver's licence and a credit card at the rental counter. Prior to the pickup date, check with your rental provider whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of insurance.

Where can I find a Richmond car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look into the age policy of the Richmond rental suppliers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years of age, some outlets will charge extra fees. It's better to know about this in advance so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own policies for younger drivers, so be sure to do your research.
