Airport Car Rental
Richmond International Airport (RIC) serves Richmond, the capital of the state of Virginia. It is located in the center of the state and is, therefore, used by many seeking to reach other parts of the state. It is also the busiest airport in the state outside of the D.C. area.
Richmond is a popular tourist destination. It is one of the oldest cities in the country and was important in colonial times. Most of the tourist attractions have to do with the Civil War, though. The city served as the capital of the Confederacy and the White House of the Confederacy can still be visited along with museums dedicated to this era of history. Many other interesting sites can be found in the region surrounding the city and a rental car is essential to visit them.
Main airlines
As the airport is not a major hub for any airline, there is no one airline that dominates in terms of the number of passengers and departures it has. American Airlines carries the most passengers but is closely followed by Delta. United and the low-cost airlines JetBlue and Southwest are also popular airlines at the airport.
br> These airlines flights are primarily to and from destinations in the Soth, Midwest, and Northeast. The farthest destination away is Denver. The major airlines connect in their hubs, for instance, Delta in Atlanta, so passengers can reach destinations farther away and international destinations.

Nearest gas station
There are plenty of stations along Highway 60 and Sout Airport Drive when approaching the airport from either Downtown or along I-64. A BP station is located right before the turn to the airport on Highway 60. If exiting from I-64, you will pass a Wawa station on your right which is not only the most convenient but likely the cheapest station in the area.
