KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Newport News

  • If you are out to visit Newport News's top attractions, consider renting a car. Driving is a cheap and reliable way of getting around the city. With a cheap Newport News car rental, you can quickly move from one major attraction to the other compared to other transport means. In addition, you won't have to worry about a schedule. A popular attraction in Newport News is Yorktown Battlefield. It lies about 13 miles from the city center. If you take the bus, the journey can take about one hour. However, you can drive to the area in 18 minutes with a rental car. You can also easily drive to Newport News Visitor Center which lies about nine miles from the city center within 27 minutes. A bus from the city to the area takes at least an hour. A car rental in Newport News lets you drive to Newport News Park which lies about ten miles from the city center.
  • Newport News is a busy city. For this reason, the city experiences heavy traffic flow between 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. each day. Getting stuck om traffic during these hours can mean not being able to get to your destination on time. When driving car rentals in Newport News, it is recommended to avoid roads at these hours. If you must drive your Newport News car rentals during these hours, avoid roads I-64, 1-95, Jefferson Avenue, and Warwick Boulevard.
  • Newport News Williamsburg Airport offers a good car rental center that lets you rent Newport News cheap car rentals. All car rental companies provide desks in the luggage claim area of the airport. The pick-up and return areas lie within walking distance of the terminal. Companies include Avis, Budget, National, Avis, and Enterprise. With these options, you can easily find a cheap rental car in Newport News upon arrival.
  • It is highly recommended that visitors rent a car during their time in Newport News, as that really is the only way to get around the city. Public transportation is quite lacking and only offers limited service during evenings and on weekends. For instance, if you want to visit Sandy Bottom Nature Park, it is just a 10-minute drive of 4.7 miles. On the bus, however, it can take upwards of 30 minutes.
  • If you are like most arrivals landing at Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport, then you are likely planning on picking up a rental car there. For such travelers, you can find the rental car desks located in the baggage claim area.
  • Due to the suburban nature of Newport News, pedestrians are very common throughout the city. As a result, jaywalking is also a normal occurrence and drivers should keep their eyes open for any unexpected street crossers. Jaywalking occurs most often on Newport News’ smaller streets and in residential areas.
  • Newport News, while not on the same level as neighboring Norfolk, still has its fair share of rush hour traffic, particularly during the work week. On most days, the morning rush hour usually picks up at around 6:30-7:00 a.m. and cools down by around 9:00 a.m., while the afternoon rush comes at around 4:00 p.m. and lasts until 6:00 p.m. As far as roads to avoid, the US 17, I-64, and I-664 bridges are major bottlenecks during rush hour and drivers should time their crossings accordingly to avoid the traffic.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Newport News for $46 or less
  • Book your rental car in Newport News at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Off-airport rental car locations in Newport News are around 29% cheaper than airport locations on average
  • Premium rental cars in Newport News are around 72% more expensive than other car types, on average

I was only renting a vehicle to test drive a Tacoma or similar truck, which is what I reserved. When I went to pick it up they had no Toyota Tacomas or any other trucks because “lots of people wanted them” that day. What is the point of making a reservation if they will give away the vehicle you reserve to whoever walks up to the counter early in the day? I canceled the reservation and left. Very disappointed.

Hertz could not process the credit card hold on a separate card, the staff at the pickup location had an attitude from the start because I was right at the door as soon as they opened. Staff refused to assist me with finding a solution to our problem and strong armed me into cancelling my reservation made through kayak and made me rent a completely different car at a different rate because the one I had originally scheduled was now "unavailable" despite the fact that it was sitting outside. I will NEVER do business with hertz again.

I reserved a car for Saturday July 18, 2021 for 12 noon. I was told to pick-up at Newport News airport. When I arrived at 11:30am, the Hertz was no longer there. I was directed to another, but by the time I got there at 12:07pm, it had closed at 12 noon. I was never alerted that they closed at 12 noon. And furthermore, why would you book someone a car at closing. I booked a room at the Hilton in D.C. for $169 which I could not get a refund for, never got a rental car cause hertz is closed on Sunday. Which my room was for Saturday anyway. Hertz did refund my $359, but I never received the $55 for the insurance on the rental. Thanks Hertz... I flew my wife from Louisiana to Virginia to have a romantic Father's Day in D.C., only to lose money and be stuck in Virginia. Terrible Service. Never Again. About $230 waisted due to poor communication and service. My wife could've stayed home for that, not to mention the flight amongst other things. 😤😡🤬

My initial reservation was with an Enterprise location in Norfolk, VA. The DAY BEFORE I was to pick up the 15 passenger van, I received a call stating that the van was not available. No other help was offered. When I asked, "Are there are no 15 passenger vans available in all of Enterprise's locations?" The reply was, "That's correct." All the caller kept saying was, "I'm sorry for the inconvenience." I live in a small town which has no rental car agencies. We have to drive at least an hour one way to rent a vehicle. I found a 15 passenger van for rent at the Enterprise location at the Richmond, VA airport. That's 108 miles (one way) from where I live, but since 8 children were depending on me to take them to summer camp, I booked the van. From that point on, everything went well.

Beware, they don't tell you until the last minute that you HAVE to have a credit card, regardless of whether or not your debit card works as a credit card... Pretty shitty experience from other enterprise locations, as had one of my buddies not had a credit card, we would have been stranded.

They didn't tell me I was on their "Unable to Rent" list until I was at the airport counter with my family waiting for a car to take us on vacation. I guess there is something on my credit report I was unaware of that caused my name to be in their database. This is not proper or good communication during the rental process done weeks in advance. I promptly walked over to the Avis counter and had no trouble renting a car.
