Tips for renting a car in Virginia
Browse helpful tips for renting a car in Virginia including age restrictions, car type suggestions and more. Tips were last updated on June 12, 2025.
- If you are heading to the state of Virginia and you have kids with you, you should familiarize yourself with the child seat laws before getting behind the wheel of Virginia car rentals. Virginia law states that children under the age of 8 must be in a child car seat appropriate for their size in the back seat of the vehicle. If you need a child safety seat, be sure to request one in advance.
- As Virginia borders Washington, D.C., Maryland, West Virginia, and North Carolina, there is a lot of potential for crossing state borders to explore other areas in your Virginia car rentals. If this is your intention, be sure to let your rental car company know in advance, as this may incur extra paperwork or insurance. You can also opt for a one-way rental if you intend to pick up the vehicle in Virginia and return it to a branch in another state.
- You may encounter some toll roads while driving car rentals in Virginia, as there are about 10 of them within the state. Most of these toll roads accept E-ZPass and automated payments, and only a few of them accept cash. You should inquire with your rental car company about how to pay the tolls, as they will often give you a pass to use for an extra charge. It is advised to use the pass from the car rental company as this will avoid any misunderstandings when it comes to automated toll payments as to why you are not the owner of the rental vehicle.

Should I rent a car in the state of Virginia?
Virginia car rentals are a great way to explore everything this beautiful mountain state has to offer.

Foreign renters in Virginia will also need a valid passport and an International Driver’s Permit (IDP) if their license is not written in the Roman alphabet.
