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. Having your rental car installed with navigation apps, avoiding peak hours, and staying cautious at intricate intersections can help overcome these challenges and ensure a smoother driving experience in Glen Allen.

My plans were all in place and required detail and...as I was walking out the door to pick up my car(10 minutes away)...I was called and told that no cars of any kind were available at the off-airport location! Why did it accept my rental reservation and...at the very least...called the night before! Unforgivable and something I shall not forget!

The key fob battery didn’t work. It was hard to lock and unlock doors and once I couldn’t start the car. I was afraid to go to a store because I was concerned I wouldn’t be able to unlock the car if I locked it. There were no key holes in the doors. They wouldn’t bring me a replacement battery. They were friendly. Car smelled like marijuana and that didn’t get better.

Pros:

I made the reso with 48.00 rate, I released I made a mistake seconds after I made it. I called and switched the location, I was told on the phone I would not be charged a new rate. I have the call transcripts, date, time and person. I get to richmond and yep you charged me the higher rate. I am not happy and I am letting American Express deal with it. I do not have time to be ripped off by companies.

Cons:

That I was still able to get a vehicle.

The car should have been prepared and ready to go by the time of reservation.

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.
