Top tips for hiring a car at Norfolk Airport
- The Norfolk International Airport is to the northeast in a section of town near the outskirts of the city. It is not very accessible using public transit. If you need to get into town in a timely manner, consider renting a vehicle by booking through KAYAK. You will be a short drive from downtown Norfolk once you have your rental.
- When thinking about a car rental at Norfolk International Airport, always plan ahead. Norfolk is on the water so summertime will be busier than other times of the year, making planning ahead all the more necessary when renting a car during that time of year. A Norfolk Airport car rental is convenient when you book ahead through KAYAK.
- The city of Norfolk has a lot of lovely sites to see. There is no better way for a visitor to see them at their own pace than with your own rental car. Once you rent your car, check out nearby Norfolk Botanical Gardens if you have some free time. There are also numerous other things to do in Norfolk, including restaurants, shopping, golf, the zoo, and more. Renting a car at Norfolk International Airport opens up the whole city for you to explore.
- A Norfolk Airport car rental offers many options to find the car you need. Summers are hot and rainy in Norfolk so think about the time of year before you rent that convertible. It doesn't get too cold but heated seats could be just the thing one needs after a swim. Consider all of the options you're looking for when renting and book through KAYAK so you can size up your options before committing.
- Book your car hire at Norfolk Airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Charged a lot for a car that smelled very strong odor of cigarette smoke. It gave me a headache the the three days I had it. Also my daughter felt ill due to the strong odor. I would have returned it but it was way after midnight. Also about 20 people in line after me. I had a two hour trip to my destination so I sucked it up. What bothers me the most I noticed when I was waiting In line that they supposedly charge 400$ for cleaning fee if someone smokes in their cars.Enterprise Rent-A-Car

Pros:
The staff was ok at pick up & drop off.Cons:
1) Customer service availability should be a lot better than what it is. I needed instruction from customer service at 5:30am eastern time involving misgiven info from a reservations specialist regarding my drop off location open time so i dropped the car off at another location that just opened for the day since i couldn't wait for my location to open. Because i kept getting a recording saying customer service closed it costed me an extra $100.00 for drop the car off at another Thrifty location rather than leave it abandoned & be liable for it.6,8 Okay

Everything, no counter in the airport, finally get to the offsite rental place and it’s closed..... every single other car rental place was open except these jokers. Kayaks office is closed they were no help. Payless says I need to call kayak, kayak says I need to call Payless. After the run around for 5 hours on the phone I went and rented a car from enterprise for cheaper and much better customer service. Stay away from kayak and Payless car rental.National
