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.

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.

Pros:

Cons:
when I got to Hertz on pickup day they stated they did not have a car for me even though I had reserved and paid for rental, after raising hell and stating I wasn't leaving till I got a car they found one. When I returned to drop off car at designated time there was a note on the door stating they would be right back. I waited 45 min for them to return and they were to close in 10 min.

May 2018
Pros:
The process of dropping the truck and picking up the car was a nightmare. The rental location scheduled to open at 8:00 am was not staffed until about 10:20 am. When we arrived there were over 10 people ahead of us who had been there since before 8:00 am. The delay in staff arriving to work caused an enormous delay in my ability to get to work. I was late and had to cancel clients. And my friend was over 3.5 hours late leaving town for the 6 hour drive.Cons:
When we called the emergency number we received no help, no compensation, etc. Nothing. There wasn’t even a way to drop off the truck we were turning in- no lock box or key drop off. So it’s not like we could drop the truck and go to another rental location. We were stuck.2.0 Poor
