Top Tips for Renting a Van in Richmond
- Planning a road trip with family and/or friends to Richmond? So much convenience comes with renting a van while visiting Richmond with friends or family. With a capacity for up to 15 passengers and the freedom to set your own travel schedule around the city, van rental affords you a rare opportunity to visit places that would otherwise be outside of public transport coverage. Some of the top places worth visiting in Virginia with your rented van include the Maymont Estate, Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, and the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden.
- Those who are looking for vans to rent in Richmond have three options to choose from: minivans, 12-passenger vans, and 15-passenger vans. Minivans are an excellent option for a family or a group looking for comfortable transportation around the city. Their roomy interior provides a perfect setting and adequate legroom as well as baggage space. Chrysler minivans, with a seating capacity of seven, are the most popular minivans for families looking to rent a car while in Richmond. Twelve and fifteen-passenger vans are ideal for packing up friends or co-workers.
- Speeding in Richmond, like in any other part of Virginia, is never a great idea.The driving laws include the Pedestrian Yielding Law, Reckless Driving Punishment, and laws that protect cyclists and other vulnerable road users. It is important that you familiarize yourself with these laws as well as speed regulations in the city before arriving. Richmond has a severe fine policy for speeding drivers. Thus, always pay attention to the posted speed limits and adhere to them. The accepted speed limit in residential and commercial areas is 25 mph while the speed limit on highways is 55 mph.
- Driving around Richmond during the winter months can be enchanting thanks to the city’s snowy winters. This calls for adequate preparation and ensuring that your rented van is fully equipped with winter tires and, if possible, snow chains as well. It is also important that you slow down when driving on snow-covered streets. Also, bear in mind that the lanes will be narrower thanks to snow piles on either side.
- Book your van rental in Richmond at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- January is typically the cheapest month to rent a van in Richmond, with prices around $77 per day. The most expensive month is May, with average prices of $120 per day.
FAQs About Renting a Van in Richmond
What is the minimum age to drive a rental van in Richmond?
The minimum age to rent a car, including a van, in Richmond is 21 years, and the driver must produce a valid driving license. Some car rental companies also restrict the type of cars a driver can rent when they are between the ages of 21 to 24. It is also important to note that some companies apply an underage driver fee for drivers below the age of 25 years.
What proof of identification do I need to bring when collecting the van?
All van rental companies in Richmond require all named drivers to provide valid driving licenses. Non-US renters are also required to provide a valid government-issued additional form of identification, such as a passport. Local renters intending to use debit cards must also produce one utility bill.
Can I add an additional driver to my contract when renting a van in Richmond?
Yes, most Richmond van rental companies allow up to 10 additional drivers per contract. The additional drivers will be required to provide proof of their driver’s license. Some companies charge a fee for every additional driver added. Be sure to find out how much the car rental company charges for additional drivers.
Do I need insurance when renting a van in Richmond?
You will be required to provide proof of insurance before renting a car in Richmond. In circumstances where your insurance does not offer coverage for a rented car, you will need to purchase additional coverage. Find out from your credit card company if they offer coverage for the type of van you are interested in renting before booking.

Pros:
Nothing, we got in at midnight and just wanted to go to our hotel but all the staff at the airport had already left and locked us in the parking garage. We were left stranded in a town we didn't know well and had to scramble for a late-night uber (of which there were almost none).Cons:

Pros:
Nothing.Cons:
Alamo cancelled my reservation. I received a voice message on my phone when I was making my connection at O'Hare. When I arrived at Richmond they did nothing to help. I called the Alamo Customer Service number - would be on hold waiting for over 20 minutes each time I called. The only way you could get someone to answer a call was to choose the "Make a Reservation" option. Appears like the only time they would answer the phone is when they think they were going to get money. I had 4 different times when someone said they would call me back with some information. No one ever called me back. The manager at the Richmond Alamo counter provided me with no options. I had to press them to get information about being compensated for my Uber charges. I tried to get a car the next day and they still didn't have any available. With today's technology there is no excuses on why they could not have contingency plans in place to ensure they have enough cars based on the number of reservations they have booked. I will never rent another car from Alamo or Enterprise again. In Richmond they had 15 to 20 SUV's in the garage, when I asked about them then said that they were reserved. If my reservations got cancelled because I booked through Kayak and had a lower rate I will need to rethink about using Kayak. Having no car for the 3 days made it very difficult doing business and also on my client you had to chauffer me around the entire time. Alamo definitely demonstrated to me that they don't care about my business.10.0 Wonderful

Thrifty service agent was unpleasant like she hated every minute of dealing with customers and I could have done without that. Was directed to another car rental place in the rental car area (I can't remember which kiosk, Avis maybe?) but then the envelope they used was Dollar, very confusing. No car was ready even though it didn't seem busy. We stood around for 30 minutes!!! Finally they brought us the car, which I found out was a 7 passenger SUV "recreational style" while I thought I had rented a full size SUV. I was told you can't rent a full size SUV on Thrifty.com. Such a bummer but we made due. There was melted candy below the window in the 3rd row seat on the left. Disgusting. How did they not see it? Never again with Thrifty!!10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
The staff was amazing! When we learned it was not at the airport we were concerned, however, we should not have been. A quick call (when we landed early) and moments later someone was there to pick us up. The driver was incredibly personable and professional. Arrived at the office and our car was "spiffed" up and ready to go. The staff could not have been better or more efficient. I would definitely use this service in Richmond again!Cons:
We had an excellent experience. When we returned the car, someone drove us to the airport in the same car that was packed up. Super happy!2.0 Poor

Pros:
Will never use this company again. And the fact that you allow them to post on your site is reprehensible. I had nothing but issues to start with they moved during the night (their words) before I picked up and they had not left a forwarding address until I called. It appears they are at the airport but they are not which adds to issues. I blew a tire on the way to my destination and they were no help. I called the car manufacturer to get a tow and paid for the tire replacement myself. There is also large scratch on vehicle which I am sure will be an issue. I have already turned over to my insurance company to handle. Clearly something hit the car and caused tire to blow. ABSOLUTELY NO HELP WHATSOEVER. SHADY COMPANY. DO NOT USE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.Cons:
NO SUPPORT. SOMETHING ISN'T RIGHT WITH THIS PLACE. NOT SURE WHAT IT IS BUT IT'S NOT WORTH YOUR MONEY OR TIME. DO NOT RENT FROM THEM. NEVER AGAIN. CAR WAS ACTUALLY NICE AND NISSAN WAS WAY BIGGER HELP WITH TIRE ISSUE THAN ACTUAL RENTAL COMPANY. INEPT AT BEST.One location in Richmond
