West Virginia car rentals

While many places in West Virginia are walkable, and even though there is significant public transportation coverage in the state, a rental car will offer you unmatched flexibility and convenience. With a rental car, you can go anywhere you want at any time, following nobody’s schedule but your own. With a rental car, you can also travel easily with your luggage. Furthermore, if you’re hoping to save yourself a lot of time, you should rent a car; if you’re the one driving, you won’t have to wait around for other means of transportation to arrive.

West Virginia takes pride in their well-designed and well-maintained roads. You’ll find driving to be quite easy in this state, as you will encounter numerous road signs placed alongside roads wherever you go. You’ll also find that it’s possible to share the road with diverse travelers, as there are many constructed pathways for pedestrians and cyclists. If you rent a car from one of the top West Virginia car-rental agencies, you’ll be able to travel confidently knowing you’ll be able to find parking spots wherever you go. West Virginia is particularly helpful in providing secure parking areas catered to travelers.

Although the legal driving age in West Virginia is sixteen, most car-rental companies have a minimum age requirement of twenty one years old to rent and drive their cars. Other companies have twenty five year-old minimum requirements for renting cars, while certain companies will charge an extra fee to anyone older than twenty one but younger than twenty five. If you’re younger than twenty one years and you’d like to rent a car, it is still possible: you will need to list a professional driver as your designated driver. Because local car-rental companies usually know how to contact such drivers, there is a good chance you can find one to drive you around in your rental car by asking the rental-car dealer.
