Though I reserved a car and had all ID and Credit cards needed, they would not rent to me. Apparently recently moving affects my ability to rent a car. Agent told me I could Uber to an off site rental location, but not other resolutions were offered.

Agent for car pick up was quick, friendly, efficient. Same for drop off agent. Car had issues - low tire pressure light would not go off despite trying to fill the tire. Lights would not work on "Auto" so had to put them on manual. Got "Change Oil Soon" light during rental. One suggestion is to include a link to the vehicle's owners manual in the rental agreement, or e-mail the link to the customer. I had to search and search online for info that would have been in the owners manual.

She didn’t look at it, but gave me papers to fill out. I explained that I completed the information online. The clerk said “I don’t know anything about it. You can talk to my manager if you want.”

I paid for my rental car online. The car pick-up should have been a quick process. I should be able to go to the counter, show them my license, and have the keys waiting to be handed to me abs then leave. It took them 30 minutes to check in each person. I stood at the counter for over an hour. It was a really slow process with really slow people at the desk. Also, they wanted my credit card for additional charges. The $200 holding fee and the tax should be included when you pay online. You shouldn’t be surprised with $240 worth of extra charges when you go to pick up your rental car. This should all be taken care of already. The car was not clean. There were wrappers and sunflower seeds in the car. Also, no one told me I would have to have the mileage written down when I returned my key.

The (Hertz) agent tried to make us take a compact car. Fortunately I had the voucher with me to show that I had ordered intermediate. Also she said the gas tank was full and it wasn’t. It was below half. The car was very nice, comfortable and good on gas.

90 minute wait in line on arrival. Tank was supposed to be full, but was nearly empty (at 1:45 am). Car was too large to comfortably park in small parking lots in town. Return agent was dismissive when I was trying to ensure I wouldn't be charged for returning the car not full, then tried to hurry me while I was gathering my belongings.

Had a luxury car booked because it was the cheapest option at the time. Upon pickup they had no luxury cars so I got a Toyota Rav4. Ended up being a great vehicle for my National Park roadtrip.

I was quoted one price and it said the price included taxes and fees but then my actual price (with no add ons for insurance or gas or anything else) was $40 higher. At least I think it is because they don't even allow me to see the receipt that they just sent me via email. It's unopenable. I don't think I will book through this site again if it's not resolved. I have used other sites in the past but had Kayak open for booking a flight.

Check-in was simple enough. The agent however was sitting and appeared to be on her phone upon arrival. Not a good first impression. But she got me on my way quickly. She could have provided a little information about my rental return. I looked it up online and figured it out. It was an early return and the instructions online were pretty straight forward. All in all, it went smoothly.

Poor customer service. Change of plans led to a need for a vehicle change. After being told it was possible on the phone, change was denied in person (mistakes happen), employees were rude and unhelpful. Hopefully just having a bad day.

That they would have told the truth. Tracy, was a professional and made my day. But I found out the charges she told me was supposed to be a temporary hold turns out with me bullshit fees/taxes. I was expecting to pay only 700-800$ instead they charged me nearly a 1000$. The car was detailed and clean. The person who I dropped it off with was professional and apologized for the confusion. I told him there was no confusion. I looked online and thinking I was going to back 700-800$, not nearly 1000$. The messed up part is that I can’t do anything about it. If I had known how much I was going to pay before booking that would have been better. They charged me $80 for a recovery fee, and other bullshit fees. Wtf are they recovering?

DO NOT rent from Avis. I was one of about thirty people who had to wait over three hours for a car to show up. They overbooked everyone and didn't have the cars to fill the reservations - and everyone waiting had a reservation. Terrible company, terrible practice, there was a crowd of us stranded at the airport because of their awful service. Steer clear. It's not worth the frustration.

Was given a vehicle with two bad tires that was not safe for the road. Rep in D.C was very nice about putting us into a different vehicle. Manager at Norfolk international airport seemed bothered that I was inconvenienced with my whole experience. I just wanted to be done. I didn’t want to argue. He/She got what they wanted… me out of there. I spent almost 3 hours on the phone on Wednesday trying to get help regarding the vehicle and no one would help me or I couldn’t get a straight answer. I was hung up on. I think I Even had someone pretend they couldn’t hear me after 30 mins on hold. I was transferred to the wrong departments. It was a mess. We only went to DC for the day and the whole experience took almost an extra two hours out of our trip. We even stopped at a different location in Fredericksburg Va and the agent there told us the vehicle should have never been given to us in the first place to rent. It was unsafe. I had children in the car. I don’t think I’ll ever rent from Hertz again and I will pass this experience along to our friends and family. My husband is active duty military so I’m sure he will be sure to pass that on so his command doesn’t book through Hertz either when traveling.
3.9 Mediocre2021 Aug 28
Everything was fine with the online rental. When I arrived to pick up my vehicle, the Hertz rental agent offered me an upgrade for $20 more per day. I accepted. When the update was made, the overall charge went up by $200! I asked why and that I had a discount from Kayak/Priceline.com, he was unsure. He re-entered my rental agreement and then showed me that the overall charge was now only $20 more. When I returned the vehicle, once again, the charge was $200 more. Now the Hert agent informed me that I'd have to contact a 1-800 number that there was nothing that could be done. After discussing this with a Hert person on the 1-800 number, they had no explanation for the $200 increase but agreed that I was being overcharged. The additional charge was later refunded on my credit card. Not pleased with this. Lesson learned: DO NOT ACCEPT AN UPGRADE ON A PROMOTION FROM KAYAK!!!

The staff was ok at pick up & drop off.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.

No Payless counter at Norfolk airport. Finally found out after much consternation that the Avis counter took care of Payless rentals. There was no signage to that effect. Not a good start. One final surprise was a $200 contingency fee hold back added to the pending charge. How about letting the customer know before hand how much the hold back fee will be so that there’s no shock when checking your credit card account. The car, a Kia K5 LX, was great.

The Payless office is 10 min away from the airport. When we got to it, there was a printed paper in the window saying they were closed, and to go back to the airport and check in at Avis. They could have easily sent an email or text or posted a sign at the airport. Avis said that office (listed on the confirmation email) had been closed for a year and a half.

Top tips for renting 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 rental car at Norfolk Airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
