How old do you need to be to rent a car in Virginia?

I’m fairly excited to go to Richmond for the first time. However, I still want to see other parts of Virginia, but I need to rent a car. I’m 22 years old, so I’m not sure if that’s possible. What age do you need to be to rent a car in Virginia?

You only need to be 21 years old to rent a car in
Virginia
, so you won’t have any issues reserving a vehicle.
Keep in mind that you may be subject to a young driver fee because you’re under 25, so budget accordingly. The rental car company may also restrict what type of car you can rent as a way to limit its risk.
If you already have personal car insurance, make sure to decline the
rental car insurance
, as your personal policy already covers it.
