Cheap Car Rentals in Lake Taylor / Janaf, Norfolk

The van itself was fine and pretty clean. Drop off was easy. The scheduled pick up at 9am on a Sunday took more than an hour and a half to have the vehicle, which then threw off my departure time. There was not a long line or wait. Just not enough staff and no progress made as to getting my rental.

Didn’t get car

I booked the car at Norfolk instead of Newport News by mistake. When I called upon arrival, Hertz told me a car would cost an additional $221. That is on top of the prepaid of $54. It was a one day rental. Went to Budget and got a car for $67.

The car was at another site from the airport. I paid $15.00 for a cab to get to the Hertz site. I was informed to return the car on Sunday morning to the same location. In order to cancel my reservation a return trip to the airport would be needed. I had several meetings to attend that day. October 23, 2022, Sunday morning the plane departure at 6:44 am. I contacted via phone Hertz and was informed it was a prepaid account, I made an attempt to get a cab at the airport at 4:00 am, and no cabs available. I returned the car at the airport with Hertz. It was very frustrating, and uneasiness. How can I return a car at another site with no cab available, and the possibility of no one to pick me up, and to return to the airport. It would have been better for me to return the car to the airport. Eventually, I returned the rental to the airport due to no transportation to the airport at 4:00 am.

I paid $350 for a rental to go on vacation. My rental was not available upon pick and no other vehicle was available. I didn't get my money back for 4 days. If I reserved a car, it should have been there.

Enterprise said a van was available. We booked it and called but the inventory is not the same at the store.

At least a month ahead of time I reserved a 15 passenger van to take children to camp. The day before I was to pick up the van, an Enterprise employee called to say that the van was not available. The employee offered no help to remedy the situation; she just kept saying, "I'm sorry for your inconvenience." I live in a rural area where the closest rental car agency is at least an hour's drive away. Though I didn't want to rent from Enterprise again, the Richmond, VA airport location had a van available. So I drove 2.5 hours one way to get it. That transaction, both pick up and return went very well. Except for the last minute cancellation, I was pleased.

Excellent staff - Dwight C. Thomas did a great job of getting all the issues resolved on the rental.
