Top tips for hiring a car at Richmond Byrd Airport

  • If you want to conveniently move around Sandston, Virginia, consider using car rentals at Richmond Byrd Intl Airport (RIC). With the rented car, you will have adequate time to visit some of the hidden gems in town, such as William Byrd Park, where you can have a great time outdoors. If you use Richmond Byrd Intl Airport, you can schedule and reschedule your traveling trips, something that is not possible if you are using trains and buses in the town.
  • Travelers who intend to rent a car at Richmond Byrd International Airport need to understand some of the challenges or difficulties they are likely to face. You may encounter the annoyance of long lines at the vehicle rental counter because Sandston residents frequently choose the airport as their preferred location to rent a car. The airports advise making reservations online rather than in person for this reason. Online booking will not only save you time but is also a good way of ensuring you don't miss on your preferred car type or model.
  • At Richmond Byrd Intl Airport, keep in mind that only vehicles dropped off during regular business hours will be accepted. Drivers are still liable for any damage to their vehicles when they are returned after business hours while they are still being processed. It is crucial to be aware that late returns of car rentals from Richmond Byrd International Airport may result in additional fees. Drivers are advised to check in at the car rental desk to make arrangements with the car rental company before returning the rental car's keys.
  • On a Saturday or a federal holiday like Independence Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, or Labor Day, picking up or dropping off your car at Richmond Byrd International Airport will provide substantial difficulties. These days, Richmond Byrd International Airport sees a disproportionately high volume of travelers leaving and arriving, which also reflects at the various car rental counters. As a result, picking up or returning your vehicle at Richmond Byrd International Airport may take longer than usual.
  • Book your car hire at Richmond Byrd Airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

It was ok. The personnel at the counter should have a better attitude and provide better customer service. The gentleman who took care of me was borderline rude. On the other hand, the vehicle was very clean, but it had a very bad smell. We had to lower the windows for a while.

The folks in the Richmond office were fine. However, due to a delayed flight, I had to change my car pick-up to Roanoke, which I did over the phone with Budget. The agent I spoke to did not indicate that there would be any problem with this, but when I arrived at the Roanoke Budget desk there was a sign saying “we cannot honor same-day reservations”, and they did not have a car for me. The Roanoke Budget agent was unhelpful and unsympathetic, and I was not able to reach a representative over the phone. I eventually had to rent a car from Hertz. Budget should not allow reservations to be made if they cannot be kept. I was extremely dissatisfied with this.

I had a car reserved for July 3rd. My flight was changed and budget said I didn't need to change the pick up time bc they hold the car for 24hrs. But when I arrived they had closed for the day more than 3 hours early!! and I was staying over an hour from the airport. I had to call a ride and go back and get the car the next day. They said they were out of cars and had to put me through with avis and I didn't even get the vehicle I had reserved....they only had a smaller vehicle which really effected our transportation on the trip. Needless to say not impressed.

My original reservation was at RIC. The female Ms. Black wasn’t welcoming nor friendly. Ms. Black which was her first name first asked for confirmation number, license, and credit card. When I asked her to be sure I was told that’s what I wanted her to ask me! She then started, drivers license, and credit card. I pulled out the card I used to made the reservation with also handed my license. I was then informed that Dollar doesn’t rent vehicles to in state customers using a debit card (attach to bank). I politely took my things my husband wheeled me back to our car. Sad, and confused based on verbiage I read on Dollars website. Decided to take a chance to visit another location. This location was on broad street in Henrico, Va. The store was closing the manager Marie came out to see if she could help us. Since store was literally closing she asked which car would I need? I pointed to the closest car considering I’m sad because our trip is not going as planned. Maria may have seen the sadness in my eyes. She then said don’t worry I’ll have the vehicle ready as soon as they opened. She also took down my reservation number so she could make sure things went smoothly in the morning. We returned bright, and early Saturday morning, to Maria’s word everything was ready! Due to myself using my bank debit card the system required a credit check. Just a suggestion, not everyone likes to use credit cards. I am a firm believer if I don’t have it to spend I don’t buy. Especially with working for a large financial institution for the last twenty one years. This is also the company who works with organizations such as Hertz, Dollar to provide corporate discount services. Possibly if being required to leave a $500.00 deposit when using bank debit card, the option for credit check should be second suggestion or if person may be a liability. Overall Maria helped turn this negative, humiliating experience around! I am truly grateful for the level of service, and professionalism that she provided. Appreciated she was the one to take accountability for the actions even though she didn’t cause this. Her ability to resolve the situation was truly appreciated. Because of Maria showing me that I mattered, she who represents Dollar showed she truly wanted my business. Kudos once again to Maria! I pray she’s considered fior any increases available to show appreciation for all she does as an employee of Dollar. Warm Regards,

The airport counter was quick, but then there was only one employee at the next level to give out the cars. The line was 15-20 people long and there did not actually seem to be any cars in the parking lot. People in the front of the line had been waiting a half hour to talk to the one employee. Others who had already talked to him were standing idly waiting for a car. We left without renting.
