Rental Car
If you made it all the way to Blacksburg with public transportation, you are a real trooper and just earned 10 points for Gryffindor. If you need to rent a car, I've had good experiences with Enterprise Rent-a-car in Christiansburg.
Travel Note
There are lots of places to choose from in the area (hotels, Airbnb, etc). Keep in mind that Blacksburg is a dynamic university town, so we encourage you to book your lodging in advance to get the best rates and availability. Sometimes rates are better on third party websites, like booking.com. Don't forget to inquire about military discounts if you are in the service!
Hotel
