KAYAK’s top tips for renting 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.

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.

After completing my order on Kayak, I went to the enterprise location and was told there were no cars available although I was sent confirmation. I was not given any other options and I didn’t have time to seek a car anywhere else. Travel plans were ruined, I’m disappointed and dissatisfied with enterprise and kayak as my order was confirmed with no information that there may be an issue. I will be leaving a review as I was not given any other options for recourse.

Their words “we’re giving it to you almost empty, so make sure you return it almost empty.” We did not enjoy having to immediately gas up upon receiving the car. But besides that they were easy to work with and the car was mostly clean.

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
