Cheap Car Rentals in Campostella Heights / Oak Leaf Forest, Norfolk

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.

Please make sure the note to bring the credit card with you to pick up is SUPER HUGE! I am not someone who carries the credit card I use for these kinds of purchases. It is in my phone for tap payment and of course I have access to it when I needed it, but I didn't have it when I first arrived. Yes, you do have the information that says to bring it, but not prominent enough. I don't rent cars enough to know this is required. So I would appreciate that being a HUGE flash sign you tell everyone that rents cars...more than just a note. When I got there, the place didn't have my car. They were waiting for it to be driven over from the next city. It didn't have a full tank because of this (Mostly full, but one tick down on the fuel gauge) The car sorta smelled like sweat, but I was able to use spray to make it tolerable. The car was ok. Chevy Sparks are terrible, but they get the job done.

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