Newport News car rental experiences: the best tips from KAYAK users

Insights shared by verified travelers who rented a car in Newport News 
JohnDec 2025
Call to verify rental agencies actually have a vehicle. I was disappointed to find out. I could still make a reservation, even though the location was out of vehicles.
AlexNov 2023
Hertz was great. The car availability was really good and I was treated fair.

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

  • 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.
  • 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.

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 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.
