KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Lexington

  • Consider getting Lexington car rentals when you visit Virginia to gain the flexibility and comfort of traversing the city. Driving around the city is the best way to discover many hidden gems. In contrast to public transportation, which often gets crowded and takes a while to arrive at the destination, car rentals in Lexington win out on reliability and convenience. Besides, you will spend less on transportation if you plan an extended stay in the city. You can learn the city's history at Virginia Military Institute Museum or explore the area’s natural wonders like Natural Bridge. Also, you can wine and dine at Season's Yield Farm at Haywood's.
  • Many airports serve flights to Lexington. The nearest ones are Roanoke Regional Airport (ROA), Shenandoah Valley Regional Airport (SHD), and Lynchburg Regional Airport (LYH). They are 49, 51, and 58 miles from the city center, respectively. Travelers arriving at ROA can find rental counters in the Arrivals near the baggage claim area. The car rental desks at SHD are in the airport terminal, across from the baggage claim and security screening area. If you land at LYH, the rental desks are in the Arrivals hall near the baggage carousel. Expect Budget, Hertz, Avis, and Enterprise.
  • Generally, driving your car rentals in Lexington is manageable because roads are well-developed and maintained. Drivers are generally less impatient and abide by traffic regulations. But driving in the city has its fair share of challenges. Although jaywalking is uncommon, drive carefully in densely populated areas to keep pedestrians safe. Again, Lexington is a bicycle-friendly city. You will likely encounter several cyclists. Drive cautiously when approaching them. Since motorbikes use the same lanes as motorists, drive carefully because bikers can overlook traffic regulations.
  • Like other cities in Virginia, Lexington experiences heavy traffic during peak travel hours. Despite the city boasting incredible roads, it still experiences dense traffic because the number of residents accessing the city with private vehicles is overwhelming. Also, human traffic on some commuter and business streets contributes to road congestion in the city. Usually, Lexington experiences traffic congestion from 6 am to 9 am and 4 pm to 6 pm. Planning your routes well is paramount; it will help avoid bumping into traffic snarl-ups.

Pros:

The staff helped me t sync my phone since I had never done it before and all was easy after that.

Cons:

I had not requested this kind of car, yet I found that I was more than pleased with every aspect of it. And since I sat in that car for three days straight, driving from east coast to west coast, that is saying quite a lot.
