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

Insights shared by verified travellers who hired 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.

Hertz was great. The car availability was really good and I was treated fair.

KAYAK’s top tips for hiring 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 hire car there. For such travelers, you can find the hire 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.
  • Medium hire cars in Newport News are around 27% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about hiring a car in Newport News

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Newport News?

    As with most cities in the U.S., large, small, and medium-sized cars are all perfectly suited for driving in Newport News. Most of the roads in the city are large and drivers should have absolutely no issues navigating them, even in the most oversized vehicles. Finding parking spots for large cars is also a breeze, thanks to the more than adequately-sized parking spots in the city.

  • Where are the best places to park in Newport News?

    Parking garages and private parking lots are the main go-to option for drivers in the downtown area of Newport News.

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.

Budget did not have the type of car I booked available. I ended up having to pay $15 more dollars a day because they only had one vehicle available in their entire fleet. I should not have been able to book a vehicle that wasn't available.

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.

Because I didn't pick up my vehicle within the 29 minute window it was given away. I was then left without a vehicle to take on my road trip for the 4th of July weekend holiday. Absolutely terrible customer service and no follow-up call by the manager.

I was at ORF which was out of cars. I booked a car at nearby Newport News, loaded the family into a Lyft, and took a $70 ride up. Upon arrival I was told they have no cars. Stranded. Seems easier to track inventory than that.

The car was dirty on the inside. Photos were taken. The doors on the inside were visually dirty. One window was so dirty it looked foggy. Also, a second reservation was needed at a different location b/c upon arrival, they had no cars.
