<p>This may seem like a lame thread but I was wondering what's teh best way to get from UVA to Duke and back if you don't have a car. thanks</p>
<p>Why? Are you and your significant other each going to one of these schools?</p>
<p>I have no idea how you'd get back and forth without a car of your own. Try looking at bulletin boards where people post stuff about rides.</p>
<p>Look into Greyhound, Peter Pan, etc. They might have buses from Charlottesville to Durham. Car rentals can be relatively inexpensive as well. How long are you planning on travelling? You can get a car for $30/day. There might even be special deals for week-long rentals. Also, some airlines post last-minute deals. I know that there are flights now on JetBlue from NY to Puerto Rico for $120 roundtrip. (That's crazy cheap!) For more options, you can fly out of Richmond rather than just C'ville.</p>
<p>can't rent a car until you're 25, damn globalist you must be OLD :-P</p>
<p>Hahahaha...</p>
<p>Really? I didn't realize you had to be 25 to rent a car. Hmmm...learn somethin' every day.</p>
<p>i'm pretty sure that at some places one does not need to be 25</p>
<p>you do have to be 25 to rent a car. i'm pretty sure that goes for all places. and you have to be 25 to rent a beach house. therefore, you're not truly "independent" (lack of a better word) until you're 25. thats also about the age you are when you start to decline. I guess they think that you're only responsible when you start to die. ;)</p>

An additional $25 per day fee applies for renters under 25 years of age. This fee is in addition to your quoted online rate. Renters under the age of 25 may not rent luxury, full-size SUV, premium SUV, full-size van, mini van or special cars.

<p>i took the above directly from budget.com - terms and conditions.</p>
<p>many years ago, those under 25 could not rent a car but that is not the case now.</p>
<p>If you are under 25 you have to pay an additional charge but you can still rent a car.</p>
<p>cool. :)</p>
<p>hopefully that original question has been answered?...</p>
<p>Yeah, there is a link off of the UVA site where students can post looking for rides and stuff and get replies that way. It seems to be pretty convenient, although Im not sure I would get in a car with a complete stranger. lol.</p>
