Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Virginia car reservation?
We've got good news! You should get all of your money back if you advise us at least six hours before pickup. Your itinerary contains details about this, as does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid reservations will receive a refund though, so it's a good idea to read through the car's cancellation policy.
What types of cars can I rent in Virginia?
Affordably priced, a cinch to handle and fuel-efficient, it's no wonder compact cars are the most commonly booked rental type in Virginia. Tour this city in one of these and you'll be able to slide into tight parking spaces and easily navigate busy streets. A compact is ideal for city escapes or shorter road trips. But they're not your only choice. Go even smaller with an economy model or bigger with a full-size or premium — the choice is yours!
Where can I go on a road trip from Virginia?
Virginia is full of adventures, but don't restrict yourself to just the one place. Organise a set of wheels and take to the road to see what else awaits in the wider region. Here are some ideas:

  • Christchurch is 72 kilometres from Virginia. Renowned attractions like Lyttelton Harbour deserve to be high on your must-see list while you're in town.
  • Why not see the wonders of Ashburton too? Notable tourist attractions in this colourful city include Ashburton Domain. Ashburton is around 113 kilometres from Virginia.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Virginia?
The minimum age to rent a vehicle in Virginia is 21. An extra fee for young drivers applies, so check before booking and factor in any additional costs. There could also be restrictions on the sorts of vehicles available to young drivers. For example, some outlets will only rent out economy to medium-sized cars to less-experienced motorists. Requirements may vary between suppliers, so look over the fine print.
What do you need to rent a car in Virginia?
In most cases, all you'll need is a current driver's licence and credit card in your name when collecting the vehicle. Proof of coverage may also be required if you choose to opt out of the company's insurance plan. Requirements are likely to differ between rental outlets, so it's always a good idea to check the terms and conditions.
What side of the road do you drive on in Virginia?
In Virginia, you'll have to stick to the left. Note that the steering wheel will also be on the opposite side to what you're familiar with. Consider booking a vehicle with automatic transmission if it's your first time driving on the left.

Where can I find a Virginia car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the rental car companies located in Virginia. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, bear in mind that extra costs may apply. Conduct some research into any extra charges before picking up your vehicle.
