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

  • Colonial Heights is located near several attractions and cities in Virginia. With car rentals in Colonial Heights, you can easily visit nearby destinations like Richmond, Petersburg, and other points of interest. 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.

  • Richmond International Airport (RIC) is a terrific place to get Colonial Heights car rentals.

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.
