I had a reservation for 10, and didn't receive a car until 11:15. All of the other customers had to wait at least 30 minutes, and they had reservations too. Based on location reviews, this is the norm rather than a one off occurrence. The car was fine.Reviewed Feb 29 2024

Pick up was terrible, long lines, inefficient , not enough staff to handle the situation correctly. Many customers were visibly upset. I hope they hire more staff to work during peak times.Reviewed Oct 12 2023

The person behind the desk did not explain the contact when he wanted me to sign it. He did not make eye contact at all. Outside of the car was dirty. He upgraded my car to a SUV without informing me in advance. I only knew when he gave me the keys. I didn’t want a bigger car. But took it anyway. The price offer for tool pay was $10 more than what was advertised in the store. Thanks!Reviewed May 10 2022

Top tips for hiring a car from Budget in Richmond

  • Even though Richmond, VA is the capital of Virginia, it isn’t the largest city in the state. That distinction belongs to Virginia Beach, which covers nearly 500 square miles. But Richmond does stretch out across more than 60 square miles, so if you’re planning to visit soon, you’ll want to book Budget car rentals in Richmond. When you have a rental car available to you in Richmond, you won’t have to worry about constantly calling on ride-sharing services or relying on public transportation while you’re in the city.
  • While the roads in Richmond can get congested at times, the traffic in the area isn’t nearly as bad as it is in other major cities in the area. For this reason, you won’t necessarily need to reserve a small rental car from Budget to make sure you’re able to navigate your way through traffic. You’ll be free to choose from some of the larger options that Budget has available, such full-size cars, minivans, and even SUVs if you like.
  • It isn’t that difficult to get around in Richmond once you’ve gotten the hang of it, but it does have many different sections that can make it confusing when you’re first driving in the city. You’ll find that the city’s vibrant downtown section is only about 20 minutes from the part of town that contains almost nothing but farmland. Because of this, you may want to request that Budget provide you with a GPS navigation device for your rental car. It’ll require you to pay a small fee when you book Budget car rentals in Richmond, but it may be well worth it if you’re taking your first trip to Richmond.
  • If you’re still kicking around the idea of renting a car in Richmond and unsure of whether it would be the best option for you, Budget will allow you to make a reservation without pre-paying for it. When you do this, you’ll be able to cancel a rental car reservation at any time and not face a cancellation fee. Take advantage of this opportunity by renting a car for your Richmond trip now, and then cancel it later if you decide you won’t need it.
