Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from Heathrow Airport (LHR)?
Yes, you can. Once your plane hits the tarmac at Heathrow Airport (LHR), you'll locate the rental car companies in Terminals 2, 3, 4 and 5. Book the right ride with Alamo, National or Avis. Budget and Hertz are also worth considering.
What happens if I need to cancel my Richmond car reservation?
When you cancel at least six hours in advance of the collection time, most reservations qualify for a total refund. However, not every one is eligible for this, so it's important to understand your rental policy.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Richmond?
Richmond requires drivers to be at least 21 to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra charge and some restrictions on choice. Many companies impose a young renter fee in addition to the car rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like compact and economy) are available to young renters, restrictions generally apply to specialty and premium cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Richmond?
Any rental company you select will need these two things — your driver's licence and credit card. If you choose to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your car.
What side of the road do you drive on in Richmond?
In Richmond, get ready to drive on the left. This obviously differs from driving in the States, so be aware and focus while out on the road.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Richmond?
Expedia makes it a cinch to score a cheap long-term car rental in Richmond. Simply click through to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your details and explore your possibilities.
Where can I find a Richmond car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver looking for a rental in Richmond, we recommend reading the terms and conditions of the various car rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be extra fees if you're between 21 and 24 years old. To escape any surprises at the rental counter, make sure you know what those charges are if they apply to you.
