KAYAK’s top tips for hiring 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.
  • Compact hire cars in Hampton are around 50% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about hiring a car in Hampton

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Hampton?

    One of the most popular car rentals in Hampton for business travelers are sedans, which are comfortable, easy to drive on the downtown streets, and easy to park in the convention center and hotel parking lots. Couples who are visiting the city and Virginia coast may opt for a convertible, especially in the late spring, summer, and early fall when the weather is beautiful. Families who plan to spend time at the local beaches often choose to rent a minivan because of the additional storage space available for all the beach vacation essentials.

  • What’s the speed limit in Hampton?

    The maximum speed on I-64 in Hampton is 65mph, but on most other major thoroughfares the maximum speeds are 40mph to 55mph. Roads in the city’s business and residential districts are limited to 25mph, and drivers should know that this speed limit is in effect even if no signs are posted. Travelers should use caution when driving on Settlers Landing Road due to the speed traps that are frequently set up at various locations on the road.

  • Where are the best places to park in Hampton?

    It is free to park in Hampton, including in the downtown area. There is free parking at the Hampton Coliseum and Hampton Roads Convention Center. Each of the city’s beaches also has convenient free parking in lots or on the street. For Buckroe Beach and Park, there is an overflow parking lot at the Jones Magnet Middle School on Nickerson Boulevard, and a free shuttle runs between this lot and the beach on busy summer weekends and holidays.
