Located in the southern region of the United States, lies wonderful West Virginia. Renowned for its rugged landscape, West Virginia has been nicknamed the 'Mountain State'. The largest city in WV is historic Charleston. The cultural capital is home to a variety of 20th century architecture, nature reserves and historical museums. West Virginia's road network provides the backbone of transportation; and hiring a car in West Virginia lets you travel freely across the state. Visit one of the most famous attractions in the state, Blackwater Falls State Park, or for arts and crafts we advise a trip to Tamarack - a beautiful market where you can discover West Virginia's local art scene.
Rent a car in West Virginia and take sports lovers to the South Charleston Memorial Ice Arena; here you can watch hockey games and cheer on your favourite team. You and your family can even try your hands at ice skating in the state-of-the-art arena. For a spectacular view, drive to Blackwater Falls State Park where you'll see four amazing waterfalls which descend into the Blackwater Canyon.

Before travelling to West Virginia it's wise to fully familiarise yourself with the rules of the road. Driving regulations in the US differ from state to state but it's wise to follow up on general road rules that include the majority of the US - many American-made indicator lights are difficult to distinguish from rear or brake lights, so extra care should be taken if you suspect a car to be turning. Always pay extra attention when you're approaching a pedestrian crossing as they legally have the right of way once they've stepped onto the crossing with no lights.
