KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Colonial Heights

  • Colonial Heights is located near several attractions and cities in Virginia.

Renting a car can save you time, as you won't have to wait for buses or trains and can quickly reach your destinations. Having your own vehicle provides a more comfortable and private mode of transportation, especially if you're traveling with family or a group. Renting a car offers ample space to carry your luggage, shopping, or any equipment you need during your trip.
  • Richmond International Airport (RIC) is a terrific place to get Colonial Heights car rentals. You will find that all nine or so of the rental agencies operating here have counters near the central entrance of the terminal building on the lower level.

Virginia prohibits texting while driving for all drivers and using handheld cell phones in work zones and for drivers under 18 years old.

In Virginia, you can generally make a right turn on red after coming to stop, but make sure it is safe to do so before you proceed.

Pros:

Staff at Hertz was great. Pickup and drop off were easy.

Cons:

The van wasn’t cleaned between me and the last renter. Old candy wrappers and receipts in the console. Steering wheel was even sticky at parts. Very risky to not clean between renters with covid going around

Pros:

The gentlemen at the store was very nice.

Cons:

I made a reservation for a smaller car and when I got there they didn’t have it. I was an inconvenience because I need to have a rental for that day so I had to get a truck which I was not expecting to have. Which in turn cost me more than what I planned and budget for.

Received conflicting information from Budget about what is needed in order to take a rental car out of the country. No one really knew the correct answer. Luckily we didn't have any problems. The customer service line is not US based so it was difficult to get the correct information needed due to language barrier.
