Our Customer Service Portal has all the details about cancellations. In nearly all cases, full refunds are provided if a reservation is cancelled more than six hours prior to pickup. Be sure to scan your rental policy to see if there are any exemptions.
What types of cars can I rent in Richmond?
Dash around in a nifty mini, style it up in a premium ride or go for something in between, like an intermediate. But it's hard to go past a compact car — the most commonly booked rental type in Richmond. They're a cinch to handle and park, fuel-efficient and a good idea if you're road-tripping around big cities. An upgrade from economy, you can expect slightly more comfort and room while still getting a wonderful deal.
Where can I go on a road trip from Richmond?
Richmond has plenty to keep you on the move, but don't restrict yourself to one place. Pick up a set of wheels and head off to see what's in the surrounding region. Here are some great options we've come up with:

  • Head to Providence for a fantastic sightseeing adventure. Around 177 kilometres from Richmond, it has many amazing sights like Roger Williams Park Zoo.
  • Why not see the wonders of Hartford too? Major tourist attractions here include Mark Twain House & Museum. Hartford is 88 kilometres from Richmond.
  • Make tracks to Plymouth Rock for a day out in nature. Pack a picnic to enjoy or just relax and unwind. From Richmond, it's approximately 225 kilometres away.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Richmond with Expedia?
Expedia makes it easy and fast to compare costs, offers and rental companies, and to check reviews. Combine your Richmond car rental with hotel or flight bookings and you can save even more.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Richmond?
Drivers aged 21 and over can hit the highway in Richmond in a rental vehicle. If you're a young driver, a daily surcharge applies. You'll usually be limited to a few car categories, such as compact and mid-size, and may also be required to take out an all-inclusive insurance rate. Always enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to find out if any restrictions or surcharges apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Richmond?
Most rental companies will require two things — your driver's licence and credit card. If you'd prefer to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your car.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Richmond?
Visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and then lock in your perfect ride. Whether you're staying in Richmond or exploring beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at an excellent rate.
Where can I find a Richmond car rental if I am younger than 25?
The ability to rent a vehicle if you're under 25 years in Richmond often depends on the rental provider you choose. Some places have a surcharge for young drivers between 21 and 24 years of age, but others may not apply any extra costs for this age bracket. Be sure to go through the terms and conditions of your chosen car rental dealer to escape unnecessary costs at the rental desk.
