KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Fredericksburg

  • Renting a car in Fredericksburg, VA, is an excellent means of getting around the city. Besides alleviating maintenance and car insurance costs, you also enjoy the freedom of getting to whichever destination you want, such as Pioneer Museum or Lady Bird Johnson Municipal Park, at whatever time you find convenient. Furthermore, you also get to choose the brand and model of the car you prefer, whether you are traveling for business or pleasure.
  • Visitors can enter Fredericksburg via Washington Reagan National Airport, located about 50 miles north of the city, Baltimore/Washington International Airport (98 miles north), and Washington Dulles (45 miles north). There are car rentals in Fredericksburg offices in all these airports at on-airport rental car counters located in the parking garage A, including Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Avis, Alamo, Hertz, Budget, and Payless.
  • Driving around Fredericksburg can be challenging, considering the city is a commuter-heavy destination. That means you'll have to deal with larger vehicles, such as buses, trailers, and transport vans, as well as pedestrians in the city center and as you pass through residential areas. Be sure to be alert, patient, and observant of traffic rules.
  • You'll experience different weather and road conditions throughout the year. During winter, there are high chances of skidding due to snow and ice. We advise you to break earlier and pressing the pedal gently. Heavy thunderstorms and rainfall during summer can reduce road visibility. Therefore, drive slower and be alert. There are usually many cars on the roads during winter. It would be best to keep a safe distance from the vehicle ahead. Consider it a buffer zone for reacting to a potential road hazard.
  • Book your car hire in Fredericksburg at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Economy hire cars in Fredericksburg are around 36% cheaper than other car types, on average

Such a car offers a comfortable ride to various POIs within the city center, such as the Old Town and Fredericksburg, and Spotsylvania National Military Park.

Here, you can park for free for the first 4h and about $1 for any additional hour. The daily maximum rates are around $8/h (day) and $2/h (night).

You let me book there when they didn't have any cars available, and since I bought the extra insurance through your website, I lost $55 for insurance I couldn't use since I didn't get any car. No one was available from your site and your help line told me that you weren't responsible for anything, including the insurance you sold me. You suck and made a horrible situation (broken down on the side of the road right before rental agencies closed) even worse. Will never use Kayak for this ever again.

Great service, great car, super easy. Avis was a huge help to me during a family emergency, and I am grateful. No floor mats, though, so I felt bad about getting mud on the floor and I hope not to receive a cleaning bill. Floor mats really should be included.

Pros:

One of the staff was friendly. The lady the originally took care of me, she seems like she didn’t want to be there. She gave a a dirty and smelly car. Also the car she gave me was dangerous because it was raining really hard and the windshield wipers, you can tell, they needed to be cleaned. Moving forward I got a new replacement

Arrived at rental location to be notified that, after booking a car online, there were no cars available for rent so I asked if they could cancel my reservation and the lady who was pretty nice, had said that the system wouldn’t allow her to cancel since it was 6 minutes after pick up time however I was there before pick up. I was just waiting in line. Anyway, I ended up getting charged for 1 day of having the car even though they weren’t able to provide me a car!!!

They never called me. I get to the location. They don’t have my vehicle. They forgot to inform me. I missed my flight so I had to drive down. Which I was trying to avoid. I was late to my sons birthday. You guys need to compensate me. I am livid. This is ridiculous. The ball was dropped so hard. They even told me they would call me back with a rental and they never did. Worst experience. Never recommending

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

No car available once I got there, waste of an uber then I had to run down the street to try and make it to Enterprise before they closed. Staff seemed helpful to begin with, then just left me sitting there waiting time when they didn't have any cars. Never renting from that location again.

Pros:

Easy to book

Cons:

Almost everything. I didn't have a mask and the guy behind the counter told me to go away. I was just dropped off by a uber and the nearest place selling masks was a 1 mile walk. He never offered to let me do the transaction outside. After I got in the car two minutes down the road a warning light came on indicating the car had been in an accident. I had to call HERTZ and photo the warning light so as to not be blamed for something I didn't do. When I got to the airport drop off no one was around and no sign for the key drop. I had to guess what to do and had no confirmation of an inspection of the car, just walked out assuming I did what I was supposed to do.
