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.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Virginia?
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.
What do you need to rent a car in Virginia?
Two things — a valid driver's licence 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.
What side of the road do you drive on in Virginia?
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.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Virginia?
Yes, so you won't have to rebook a rental car in the middle of your holiday. 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.
Where can I find a Virginia car rental if I am younger than 25?
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.
