KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Staunton

  • Staunton car rentals can be more cost-effective than alternative transport options.

Renting a car gives you more freedom to explore the city and its surroundings. You can conveniently visit popular attractions like the Shenandoah National Park, the Frontier Culture Museum, and the Woodrow Wilson Presidential Library.
  • When traveling to Staunton, VA, the common point of arrival is Staunton Shenandoah Valley Airport (SHD). If you require car rental services in Staunton, the airport provides several car rental agencies conveniently situated near the baggage claim area. The rental cars are parked nearby, ensuring easy access from the terminal.

However, obtaining permission from the rental agency for after-hours returns is crucial, as there may be associated fees.

They didn’t have any cars and I was left to scramble to find something with last minute inventory and with last minute price inflation.

I didn’t get to rent the car. I called at 5::17 and talked about payment options. I told them I was on my way, gave my address, and headed down. Had no clue they closed at 5:30pm. It was buried in the reservation details, and the person I spoke to made no mention of it, either. Just overall poor customer service and communication from both Kayak in their platform and also the local Enterprise.
