KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Hampton

  • Hampton is a coastal city in Southeastern Virginia. It is part of the Hampton Roads area, which also includes Newport News, Norfolk, Chesapeake, and Virginia Beach. Car rentals in Hampton give travelers the freedom to cruise the coastline or explore the popular attractions beyond the beach, including the Virginia Air & Space Center, Langley Speedway, and local craft breweries featured in the Coastal VA Beer Trail. With your rental car, you can take a day trip to nearby cities like Virginia’s capital city, Richmond, which is about 77 miles northeast of Hampton.
  • Hampton is served by the Norfolk International Airport (ORF). Hampton car rentals are picked up at the rental car counters that are conveniently located in the airport’s arrivals terminal. The rental cars are parked close to the counters in Garage A (pickup is on Level G and return is on Level 2). Nearly all of the rental car services are within an easy walking distance of the baggage claim areas, so there is no need for a shuttle service.
  • Drivers in the Hampton Roads area are often very focused on reaching their destinations, especially when there is heavy traffic. At these times, some drivers closely follow other cars and do not yield the right of way, so visitors to the area should be aware of this driving style. Travelers should also use caution in the Sussex at Hampton neighborhood, which has several one-way roads that can be confusing for people not familiar with the area.
  • Traffic throughout the Hampton Roads area is notoriously slow, and it is recommended to avoid major roads during the morning and evening commutes (6am – 9am and 3pm – 6pm, respectively). The Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel (HRBT) can be especially slow in the summer, and it is not uncommon for the road to back up for miles at the HRBT, especially in the summer when vacationers are approaching or leaving Virginia Beach. Traffic congestion increases in July and August as tourists flock to this coastal city for vacation.
  • The Norfolk International Airport is the primary airport serving Hampton. You can book Hampton car rentals through KAYAK and pick them up at the airport upon landing. Most car rental agencies in Hampton are located at the arrival terminal near Garage A, where you'll find Thrift Dollar, Hertz, Budget, Enterprise, and more. Pick your key from the car rental desk and head to Level G, where most of these rental companies park their cars. Then, pick your rental car of choice and drive to your destination.
  • Tailgating is common on most Hampton roads, especially during rush hour, as drivers impatiently try to reach their destination. Most drivers are notorious for not being willing to yield the right way. If you're visiting Hampton for the first time, you should expect such behavior from most motorists and be advised to exercise caution and adhere to road rules to avoid road rage. While it is illegal for traffic police to use radar detectors to track your speed, it is advisable to maintain the stated road limits to avoid problems with the law. Otherwise, if you exceed the required speed limit, you can be charged with a traffic violation offense and sentenced to a year in jail. Finally, don't use your phone or other electronic devices while driving unless hands-free.
  • Traffic in Hampton gets slower during rush hours when people commute to and fro work on weekdays. All major roads and highways experience heavy traffic congestion from 6: 00 am to 9:00 am and in the evening between 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm. One notable road to avoid during such hours, especially in summer, is the Hamptons Road Bridge-Tunnel (HRBT). Heavy traffic gets more intense around July and August when tourists flock to the city for vacation and to visit Virginia Beach. In addition, when driving in Hampton, you are required by law to stop for pedestrians at crosswalks and not just slow down or give them the right of way.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Hampton for $52 or less
  • Compact rental cars in Hampton are around 50% cheaper than other car types, on average
