KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Glen Allen
- Car rentals in Glen Allen have enhanced convenience and flexibility as the main advantages of public buses or taxis. With a rental car, you can visit different parts of the city, including reaching many off-road destinations easily. You can easily visit attractions like Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden and Crump Park, which might be less accessible by public transport. A rental car ensures comfort, privacy, and the ability to carry belongings conveniently, enhancing your overall travel experience in Glen Allen.
- Glen Allen car rentals are conveniently accessible at the airports serving the city. Richmond International Airport (RIC), the main airport, offers car rentals within the terminal on the lower level of the parking garage. At Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport (CHO), rental services are near the baggage claim area. Both airports provide a range of rental options for easy exploration of Glen Allen and its attractions, such as Meadow Farm Museum. Follow signs upon arrival to find the car rental counters, ensuring a seamless transition from your flight to your desired vehicle.
- Remembering a few things when driving car rentals in Glen Allen would be best. For instance, always remain watchful of jaywalkers, especially in busy areas of the city center. The city's driving style is generally relaxed but be prepared for moderate traffic during peak hours. Drivers typically adhere to traffic laws, but it's wise to stay vigilant and cautious, as local driving habits might vary. Respect speed limits and yield to pedestrians. Adopting defensive driving and respecting traffic rules will ensure a smooth and safe experience exploring the city.
- You will likely experience a few challenges when using car rentals in Glen Allen. For instance, if you are new in the city, navigating the complex intersections such as the Parham and Patterson intersection and the Broad Street and Glenside Drive junction can be quite challenging. During rush hours, which generally occur from 7:30 am to 9 am and later from 4 pm to 6 pm, you will experience inconveniently longer travel times due to heavy traffic congestion on most of the roads in the city. The most affected roads during such times are West Broad Street and Interstate 64.

Cons:
We arrived at the airport to pick up our car at 5:15pm. We were told our car rental was off site (which we were not aware of). The Enterprise agent at the airport called the Enterprise location. We requested a guest pick up; we were told we would not be picked up. We decided to take a cab to that location; we were told they were closing and they would not be open for our rental car pick up. We rented a car at the airport from another rental car agency.8.0 Very good

customer care, the guy was nice to me when I picked the van, and when I misplaced the key, I called and talked to a nice operator who got a help for me within short time.Cons:
I returned it on the 17th at 9:16 pm, but on the invoice that i just received you charged me as if i returned it on the 18th. I should have a discount for returning it earlier than the scheduled return time.5.2 Fair

Pros:
Staff was friendly.Cons:
I reserved a large SUV and called two days early to ensure the car would be ready and move the pick-up and return a few hours early. When I arrived they did not have a large SUV and offered a Suburban. I was okay with that but they said there would be an additional charge, and I would need to bring it back a day early or pay a fee. Surprises at pick-up usually aren't good.Avis

Cons:
I reserved an impala and they wouldn't honor that. They gave me a smaller Malibu and said it would cost $9 per day to upgrade. The car has a greasy dashboard which the agent verified and asked the employee to wipe down the grease. He was nasty and threatening and said they wouldn't charge me for the grease, just for damages. I didn't care about the charge, I just wanted a clean car. Lastly, the lot go store your own vehicle was too far away with no shuttle.1.9 Poor

Jul 2019
Pros:
The staff was friendly and helpful, and the quality and comfort of the vehicle was great.Cons:
The drop off was a little shaky because of a misunderstanding between the employee and customer so it took longer than it should've but this was minor. Also a previous customer whom had the vehicle before me put a medium sized hole in the rear bumper so it took away from the appearance of the car.2.0 Poor

Pros:
NOthingCons:
Depite kayak showing that there were cars available, Budget had none, weren't getting any more, and if they did they were going to go to people who made reservations before me and for a longer time. That was exactly what the curt woman behind the counter said.6.0 Okay
Apr 2019
Pros:
Cheap rental, car was clean and generally fineCons:
There were no cars available when I went to pick up so I had to wait over an hour until someone returned a car. Then the employee did not believe my credit card was real. She spent 15 minutes calling various supervisors and American Express to verify it before running the card. Horrible experience!8.8 Very good
May 2018
Cons:
I was called on my way to pick up a 9am one way rental saying no car was available till at least 10:30am. I was already on the way to get dropped. Luckily, when I reached, a car came in and took about 30min to get cleaned. The whole situation was tension filled, as I had to catch a flight in Washington Dulles.2.0 Poor
