What do you need to rent a car in Richmond?
You’ll need to present your driver’s license and a credit card in your name at the home counter. Prior to pickup, check with your home supplier whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of auto insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Richmond?
In Richmond, you’ll need to drive on the left-hand side of the road. Take note that the steering wheel will also be on the opposite side to what you’re used to. Consider booking a car with automatic transmission if it’s your first time driving on the left.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Richmond?
Yes, which means you won’t have to rebook a holiday home vehicle halfway through your holiday. Click on our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and reserve a ride to call your own for however long you want.
Where can I find a Richmond car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you’re a younger driver looking for a holiday home in Richmond, we suggest reading the terms and conditions of the car rental companies you’re interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25 some may not. There may be additional costs if you’re between 21 and 24 years of age. To escape any surprise fees and charges at the holiday home desk, make sure you know if any extra charges apply to you.
