Richmond International Airport, abbreviated as RIC, is a bustling airport hub located in Sandston, Virginia. As the third busiest airport in Virginia, RIC connects you to over 200 destinations worldwide and serves various airlines offering non-stop flights to major cities in USA.

Car Rental Stations at the Airport

Upon arrival at RIC, you'll find conveniently located car rental companies such as Hertz, Avis, and Enterprise inside the terminal, making it easy to hire a car directly. For a wider selection, several off-site car rental services accessible by shuttle buses are also available.

Currency and Communication

Operate in US Dollars during your visit as it's the local currency. Though most establishments accept credit cards, it's advisable to have some cash handy, especially for small purchases. Remember, unlike in the UK, it's customary in the US to leave a tip of 15-20%.

Mobile Connectivity

Stay connected by leveraging the airport's complimentary Wi-Fi service. Most UK mobile service providers offer international roaming, but do check the charges. Alternatively, consider a local SIM card for longer stays.

Driving Around Richmond

Driving on the 'other side' of the road can be strikingly different from driving in the UK. In the US, remember to drive on the right-hand side of the road and make turns on red lights after complete stops, unless indicated otherwise. Also, speed limits use miles per hour, not kilometers.

Fuel Stations and Car Classes

Several fuel stations close to RIC make it easy to fill up before returning your rental car. Opt for a compact or economy class vehicle for easy manoeuvrability around Richmond's city streets, or a comfortable SUV if venturing into the countryside.

Climate and Attire

Virginia's temperate climate brings hot summers and mild winters. However, the weather can be unpredictable, so pack versatile clothing. Summers can warrant shorts and t-shirts, while winters require warmer clothing, perhaps less bulky than what you're accustomed to in the UK.

Exploring Richmond and Beyond

Just 7 miles southeast of RIC lies the capital city of Richmond, teeming with historical sites and cultural festivities. Short drives can also take you to Chesapeake Bay's beaches, the Blue Ridge Mountains, or Williamsburg's colonial relics.

Accessibility and Connections

Richmond's central location allows easy access to Interstates 64 and 95, ensuring quick connections to business, cultural, and recreational sites across the region. Alternatively, the Greater Richmond Transit Company (GRTC) provides reliable public transportation.

Enjoy your journey and explore Virginia with the freedom and flexibility of your rented car.
