KAYAK’s 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.
  • Large rental cars in Harrisonburg are around 45% cheaper than other car types, on average

They didn’t have any cars and I was left to scramble to find something with last minute inventory and with last minute price inflation.

I didn’t get to rent the car. I called at 5::17 and talked about payment options. I told them I was on my way, gave my address, and headed down. Had no clue they closed at 5:30pm. It was buried in the reservation details, and the person I spoke to made no mention of it, either. Just overall poor customer service and communication from both Kayak in their platform and also the local Enterprise.
