Top tips for hiring a car in Virginia

  • It is generally recommended to hire a car that is reliable and capable of handling any weather conditions, as Virginia experiences a mix of weather conditions throughout the year. One car type that is recommended for driving in Virginia is an intermediate SUV. These vehicles offer a higher ground clearance and all-wheel drive, making them particularly useful for driving on the roads and terrain in the area.
  • There are some potential difficulties you will likely encounter when driving in Virginia. Virginia has rush hour periods during weekdays when traffic can be heavy, particularly in urban areas, such as Richmond and Northern Virginia. Rush hour in Virginia generally occurs between 7:00 am to 9:00 am and between 4:00 pm and 6:00 pm. In Northern Virginia, traffic on Interstates 66 and 95 and the Capital Beltway (I-495) can be particularly congested during rush hour.
  • You should be aware that it is considered drink-driving if a person is operating a vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or higher in Virginia. The BAC threshold is lowered to 0.02% for drivers under the age of 21 and commercial drivers. Additionally, it is illegal to refuse a lawful breath or blood test if pulled over under suspicion of drink-driving in Virginia and refusal of a breath test can result in an automatic one-year licence suspension.
  • You can use your Virginia car hire to cross borders. However, it's essential to check with the car hire company if they allow border crossings and obtain permission if needed. Different car hire companies have different policies, so it is crucial to clarify this with the company before hiring a car. If permitted, it's possible to take the hired car to different places, including neighbouring states and provinces. Virginia shares borders with Kentucky, Maryland, North Carolina, Tennessee, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia.
