Top tips for renting a car in Harrisonburg

  • Hiring a car from one of the car rentals in Harrisonburg is one of the best moves you can make if you want to pack as much as possible into your trip. Since most Harrisonburg car rentals are outfitted with cutting-edge GPS navigation systems, you won't have to worry about navigating to and from the city to your preferred attraction spots. Additionally, hiring a car is cost-effective, especially if you're traveling with company. Even better, you may visit famous sites outside the city, such as the Shenandoah Valley, a legendary destination for sightseeing and pleasure. You can also travel a short distance to the Virginia Quilt Museum, which features handcrafted fabrics from various ages.
  • The main airport serving Harrisonburg is the Staunton Shenandoah Valley Airport. Getting a rental car at this airport is easy because it's served by well-known rental agencies like Enterprise, Avis, and Budget. The onsite car rental counters are located in the baggage claim lobby in the arrivals hall. The attendants at your preferred car rental agency will point you in the direction of the shuttle buses that will take you to the off-site car rental parking lots.
  • Even though driving your rental car in Harrisonburg isn't that difficult, developing defensive driving skills is in your best interest. Jaywalking crimes are no longer punishable in Virginia; therefore, be on the lookout for pedestrians who could be distracted when crossing the street, whether they are in a designated crosswalk or not. The state also allows cyclists on major roads, so keep a distance from them to avoid accidents. If you have a child on board, ensure they are on the recommended child seats to avoid getting pulled over by the traffic police.
  • Even though driving in Harrisonburg is not difficult, the major roads leading into the city can become extremely congested during rush hour. You may need to leave earlier than 7 a.m. because the roads can become congested until 9 a.m. during the morning rush hour. Evening rush hour spans from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., with heavy traffic on Interstate 64, US 29, and the US 250 bypasses. During the winter, Harrisonburg roads may be covered in snow and patches of slick ice, so choose the appropriate vehicle for the conditions.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Harrisonburg for $50 or less
  • Book your rental car in Harrisonburg at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Compact rental cars in Harrisonburg are around 45% cheaper than other car types, on average

Nothing wrong with their services or employees - everything there was amazing!

This company support the NRA (which I only realized after having finished my rental). I will never use them again because of this choice to continue supporting gun violence in the US.

The gentleman we picked the car up from way the nicest of all.

Cons:

Knowing the 26 of dec would be holiday I specifically asked if Shenandoah office was going to be open, I was assured it was. Got a call a few days before that it would be closed and I would need to come to Harrisonburg. The reason I get from Shenandoah is because of convince. After a long battle they agreed to send someone to the Shenandoah office. I do believe they were unhappy because I went through kayak

Apr 2018

Pros:

Never rent here ever. The car smelled. It was like a mom and pop store. I got a flat tire and barley drove it anywhere. I used $8 worth of gas. The tire was old which is why it went flat. A state trooper even looked at it and didn’t know why the tire went flat.

Cons:

I spoke to budget numerous time before my pickup day. On my day of pick up i talked to them 3 times. I called the morning of pickup to make sure everything was good to go, asked what all I needed to bring and was told a credit/debit card, drivers license, and both had to match the name on the reservation. On the way to pickup the car budget called us twice, once asking what time we were coming and a second time saying the standard suv we were supposed to be getting had an unexpected oil change and so the only thing they could offer us was a minivan or a smaller suv. We settled for the minivan and drove almost 2 hours to pickup. Upon getting there he asked for a credit/debit card to swipe and then said they couldn't rent us a car because of our credit score. So of all the times I talked to this place nothing was mentioned about a credit check. So we got no vehicle and
