To rent a car at the airport, it is mandatory that all customers are in possession of a valid driver’s license that is government-issued and will not expire during your rental period. If you do not have a license from the United States, you can still rent a car with an alternative license, such as an international license or a license from a foreign country. If you will be using either of these, make sure that you have your passport on hand, as the company that you choose to rent with will most likely want to have a photocopy of it in your file.
The car rental center at Charlottesville Airport is located directly on airport property, at the address of Bowen Loop. There are several major companies that have branches here, and they each have their own individual office. Once you have signed any necessary paperwork, provided a payment method, and received your car keys, a company employee will lead you to your vehicle. All fleets are located just a short walking distance from the rental center, which is also a quick walk from the main terminal.
The amenities that are available for customers vary depending on which specific company you are renting with. In general, you can expect to have access to amenities like public restrooms, as well as outlets that can be used to keep your electronic devices charged. Many of the offices also have sitting areas which come in handy when you would like to rest for a few minutes while waiting for your car to be ready. Your company may also offer you a free drink, like bottled water.
Car hire companies that offer shuttle or pick-up services from Charlottesville Albemarle airport to off-airport locations include Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Hertz, and National.

Pros:
The staff was friendly and helpful. It was very easy to get to the car and then return it.Cons:
This was my first time ever renting a car I didn’t really know what to expect, but I was definitely disappointed. Once I got the keys I went to get the car and got in, I immediately noticed it smelled like smoke. It wasn’t unbearable but I wanted to report it because I didn’t want the company to think I had anything to do with it. I went back to inform the guys at the desk but they were all gone. I waited for about 10 minutes or so but no one came back. Fortunately there was a woman at another rental car company desk right there who took my information and said she would give it to the guys in the morning and to not worry about it. While driving the car around over the weekend I had the AC on and it had a mold smell at different times. I’m assuming the air filter needed changed. I’m kind of surprised This happened. I assumed rental car companies would make sure the car was clean and was maintained with new air filters. But perhaps not and this is just how it is. Also, I was incorrectly charged on my credit card and customer service is going to fix it but could not tell me why that happened.10,0 Wonderful

The rep on duty on 9/18 at 9:45 am was friendly, knowledgeable and accommodate my rental request. Through a website I reserved a large SUV. Enterprise was oversold on the vehicle I needed. The rep. came through for me on my request and worked hard to make sure that I had what I requested. That Rep made my trip with my family comfortable and joyful.Cons:
Get more Large SUVs for the area (Charlottesville, VA) they always sell out on the weekend.10,0 Wonderful
