Tips for renting a car in West Virginia
Browse helpful tips for renting a car in West Virginia including age restrictions, car type suggestions and more. Tips were last updated on January 30, 2025.
- If you will be visiting West Virginia with little ones, make sure that you are familiar with and understand the state’s car seat laws. For instance, all passengers under the age of eight must always be in a car or booster seat. The car or booster seat needs to be federally approved. The only exception to this is if a child reaches a height of four feet and nine inches tall (4' 9") before they turn eight years of age.
- West Virginia is bordered by numerous states, including Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and Kentucky. Because of this, it is quite common for individuals to drive to other states that are nearby. Car rental companies will allow you to do this, and you do not need to pay for additional insurance or declare this to your agency. However, you will want to check if the agency you are renting with allows you to return your vehicle in a different state.
- The state of West Virginia has quite a few toll roads, including the West Virginia Turnpike. You can either pay with cash or an E-ZPass, an option that allows you to save money and move quickly through the payment area. Many rental companies in West Virginia will already have an E-ZPass on their vehicles, so you may want to consider asking your agency if you can have a car with one for convenience.

Car rental FAQs

Should I rent a car in West Virginia?
Driving is by far one of the best ways to travel throughout West Virginia. Even in the larger cities, such as Charleston and Morgantown, public transportation is limited. In more rural areas, including the mountains, there is no access to public transportation at all, so having access to a vehicle is essential. West Virginia is also known for having several great road trip routes, including the Seneca Skyway.
What is driving like in West Virginia?
When driving in the West Virginia mountains, you will want to proceed cautiously, as they are known for being very winding and steep. If you are in a larger city, like Charleston, you can expect for most of the roads to be well paved and to very rarely have potholes. However, in more rural parts of the state, there may be areas where the roads are not paved at all. Rural areas also do not always have lights, so try to stick to main roads when driving at night to be as safe as possible. It is quite common for West Virginia to receive a lot of snow during the winter months, particularly in the mountainous areas. If you will be visiting the state during a colder period, make sure that the car you are renting is adequately prepared. For example, you will want a vehicle with tires that are designed for snow, as well as chains.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in West Virginia?
To rent a standard vehicle in West Virginia, a driver must be a minimum of 21 years old. However, keep in mind that if you are under the age of 25, almost all rental companies will ask you to pay a daily young driver’s fee. In addition to this age requirement, drivers are also asked to possess a valid driver’s license that will not expire before the end of your rental period. You should be in possession of your license for at least one year before you rent a car with it, and it cannot have any negative remarks or restrictions. You will also need a credit card to pay for your rental vehicle.
