  • Lock in your ride in August and keep your spending in low gear. It's the cheapest time of year to rent a car in CHO, with average daily rates of R 1,540.

  • Snap up a cheap CHO rental car by booking in advance. You're more likely to score a better deal and the car that fits your plans.

  • Find your perfect ride with Dollar, Budget or Alamo, some of the most well-known providers at Charlottesville Albemarle Airport.

  • Check if a collision damage waiver (CDW) is part of your Charlottesville Albemarle Airport car hire policy, whether with Dollar or another supplier. Some may leave it out of the standard package and offer it as an extra.

  • Booking a one-way car hire is often a great hack for cheaper deals. Simply check 'Return car to a different location' when searching for a car for rent in CHO. Providers sometimes have to move vehicles between locations, which means you can score some awesome one-way prices.

  • Skip the hidden fees by booking a car hire in Charlottesville Albemarle Airport with a 'Fair fuel policy.' Start your journey with a full tank and return it the same, paying only for what you use.

  • Want to explore more without stressing about the number of miles you clock up? Find rentals with 'Unlimited mileage' under the 'Policies' filter and travel as far as you like without the extra fees.

  • Get the adventure started once you've collected the keys to your CHO car hire. You've got the freedom to take any route you choose, but if you're off to central Charlottesville, it'll take you about 20 minutes to travel the 16 kilometres or so south.

  • Don't need a set of wheels right after landing? Think about picking up a car hire in Charlottesville instead of at the airport. That way, you won't be paying for days you don't use.

Insurance and optional extras

Good to know
