Top 10 Gear Rentals in Virginia, United States

April 4, 2022 Osvaldo Hartline

Virginia can make American history come alive. Visit Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello, tour Civil War battlefields, explore the living history museum at Williamsburg… the possibilities are endless (if the kids object, break up the historical sightseeing with a visit to Busch Gardens). Arlington, site of Arlington National Cemetery, is just across the Potomac River from all the major sites in D.C. In addition to beaches and historical attractions, Virginia has plenty to offer outdoor enthusiasts. Active families will love the Blue Ridge Highlands, where hiking, canoeing and tubing are just a few of the activities offered. Couples might enjoy a romantic mountain cabin in Virginia after a day of hiking in Shenandoah National Park.

Shuttle Shack

SHUTTLE SHACK is the only family owned and operated Bike rentals and shuttle services in Damascus VA for the VA CREEPER TRAIL Family fun for all ages.....

Reviewed By miller50 - New Bern, United States

There are quite a few bike rental/ shuttle places in Damascus for riding the Virginia creeper trail. After reading reviews, I chose Shuttle Shack and I am glad we did. The service was great from beginning to end. Gary and his wife, the owners answered my questions and selected a great Giant bike for me. I tested it in the parking lot. The shuttle ride to Whitetop was driven cautiously to the top. I ride upfront to avoid car sickness and had no problem. I would definitely use their service again if in the area.

Creeper Trail Bike Rental

Reviewed By 101MelissaM101 - Oak Ridge, United States

Connected with Creeper Trail Bike Rental by chance as we couldn’t reach the shop we normally use. These guys are awesome. Very knowledgeable, approachable, and seem to enjoy what they’re doing. We rented bikes and shuttles to the top; I think Charlie was our driver and he was great. He regaled us with info and took questions from the group. 30 minute ride up a windy road so prep for that if you gotta :) They made the process easy from picking out the bike to returning it. Will definitely visit again!

Planned this trip only 5 days in advance and could not get a bike for Sat or Sun so we chose to extend our trip to Monday and rented a bike through the Bike Station. What a great choice! First of all, I am glad we rode on Monday when the trail was not as crowded as the weekend. Secondly, the Bike Station took care of us and went above and beyond the basics. No need to explain the details, just ask for what you need and even though they are busy, they try to accommodate. Our shuttle driver gave us a few pointers for a more pleasant bike ride, cautioned us to be careful on some of the road crossings and overall, took care of us. Especially glad we went during the fall. The leaves were turning for variations of color. The fall light through the trees was lovely. The trail ran alongside the river and crossed multiple times over wooden bridges, giving us different scenery at each crossing. Easy to stop anywhere and take your time, walk or sit on rocks, soak in the beautiful nature. Yep, good trip!

Blue Blaze Bicycle & Shuttle Service

Reviewed By susanfT2043UW - Asheville, United States

We just got back from our trip to Damascus and had a terrific time on the Creeper Trail thanks to Blue Blaze bikes. We chose Blue Blaze for our bike rental and shuttle and are so glad we did. Even though all the other companies may appear to be comparable, they are not. From booking the reservation to a safe shuttle service to Whitetop Station to well maintained bikes, every part of our rental experience was terrific. We particularly appreciated that they offered newer Trek bikes that worked perfectly. We even had a choice of a wider and more comfortable seat which I appreciated. I definitely recommend Blue Blaze and will use them again when we return.
