  • Browse the offers available with Hertz, Dollar and Budget. They're some of the most well-known providers in the city.

  • Always check if a collision damage waiver (CDW) is part of your Lynchburg car hire policy, whether you go with Hertz or any other supplier. Some companies treat it as an optional extra instead of bundling it in.

  • Booking a one-way car hire is often a great hack for cheaper deals. Simply check 'Return car to a different location.' Providers often have to move vehicles from one location to another, which means you can bag some great one-way prices on a car for rent in Lynchburg.

  • Avoid any unexpected charges by booking a ride with a 'Fair fuel policy.' Start your journey with a full tank and return it the same, and pay only for what you use.

  • Pack more into your journey by picking a rental with 'Unlimited mileage.' Located under the 'Policies' filter, it means you can drive as far as you need without paying more.

Insurance and optional extras

  • Car rental excess insurance isn't a necessity, but it's worth considering. If you're in a collision, no matter how minor, it can save you from paying a big excess fee. Different Lynchburg car hire providers have different insurance policies and coverage levels, so check the details before booking.

  • Take your ride to the next level with nifty extras like a reverse camera or navigation unit. These features can make your trip easier and more enjoyable when you rent a car in Lynchburg.

  • You'll likely be asked for these three things when picking up your rental car: a valid driver's licence, extra photo ID, and a credit card with enough balance for the deposit. Debit cards aren't widely accepted. Your booking will flag any other must-haves.

  • Driving in the United States may take some getting used to if it's your first time. Don't forget all vehicles travel on the right side of the road.

  • Local speed limits may vary, but it's usually around 40kph in urban areas and 110kph or so on highways. Always follow the posted signs.

  • You'll be using the United States dollar (USD) for everyday expenses here. You may find it useful to carry a mix of cash and cards to make sure you're always covered.

  • English is the language you'll hear most people speak in this country.
