KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Midlothian
- Midlothian is located in RICHMOND, Virginia, USA, just south of the James River. The town is a quiet area with a few restaurants and bars for you to choose from, which are easy to access when you have a vehicle to drive around town. When you choose to use an outlet for car hire in Midlothian, you get to have more freedom when travelling in town and around the perimeters of the city. The Windy Hill Gold Course is located in the borders of Midlothian and is easier accessed by car, but only 4 miles from the centre of town. There are also several sites of natural beauty around 30 miles outside of Midlothian, making for the perfect day trip for nature lovers.
- The closest airport to Midlothian is Richmond (RIC) Airport. As an international airport, many of the key players in the car hire industry have branches at the airport for your convenience. Having a pre-booked car hire in Midlothian will allow you to enjoy the convenience of your own transport, while avoiding paying for a taxi or navigating the local public transport systems, which can prove challenging if you are not from around Midlothian. The car hire process is easy if you have a licence that makes you eligible to drive in the USA, and many of the car hire agencies will have flexible pick-up and drop-off times to accommodate your flight schedule.
- Midlothian is a quiet, relatively rural town. Therefore, driving in the city is a relaxed experience. As the city is based in the USA, cars are expected to drive on the right-hand side. This can take some getting used to for drivers who are used to driving on the left-hand side of the road. There are also several schools in Midlothian, so when you choose Midlothian car hire as your preferred method of transport, you have to take extra care of pedestrians in the area. As there is not much of a metropolitan atmosphere in Midlothian, drivers do not have to worry too much about rush hour traffic. Congestion is rare in the city, making driving in town a simple task.
- When driving in Midlothian in your rented vehicle, you have to make sure you watch for pedestrians, given the number of schools in the area. The countryside also surrounds the city; therefore, animals crossing the road is also a factor for drivers to consider. The roads are well-maintained, so it is not very likely that there will be any damage to your vehicle caused by potholes or other surface inconsistencies. As the city is located in a more remote area, you will have to keep an eye out for delivery trucks and vehicles when driving in and around town.
- Book your car hire in Midlothian at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Intermediate hire cars in Midlothian are around 6% cheaper than other car types, on average

Zachary, Jun 2020
Cons:
I didn’t even get to rent the car because I didn’t have a valid pay stub that was valid for the last 30 days prior to renting. But due to COVID-19 that was impossible considering I was laid off back in March. Was told a bank statement would’ve worked but Enterprise doesn’t take that as a “proof” anymore so I’m not even sure what the point of telling me that was.Budget

Pros:
Drop off was easyCons:
The person was rude when getting the car. Then the tire pressure light went off. I had to go to a mechanic to adjust tires. The USB port wasn’t working. The car wouldn’t go above 52 mph and was bucking. Overall, the car and the company was unacceptable.8,0 Very Good
