Virginia Beach Center Car Rental

Virginia Beach center is the heart of Virginia's most populous city, located directly on the Atlantic Ocean with the famous 5 km long boardwalk that attracts millions of visitors annually. With a rental car from one of two available car rental companies, you can easily explore the entire Hampton Roads region. Atlantic Avenue runs along the beach and is the city's main artery with hotels, restaurants, and entertainment.

Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center is 5 km south, and historic Norfolk is reached in 30 minutes' drive via I-264. Parking along the boardwalk is paid during summer season - expect to pay 2-5 dollars per hour. Visit First Landing State Park, 10 km north, for hiking and kayaking in beautiful natural surroundings.

Avoid Atlantic Avenue during summer weekends when traffic can be completely gridlocked. How long does it take to drive from Virginia Beach center to Norfolk? It normally takes 25-35 minutes via I-264 W, depending on traffic and any bridge tolls at Downtown Tunnel.

Can I park my rental car near the beach? Yes, there are several parking garages and lots along Atlantic Avenue, but fees apply and they fill up quickly during peak season. What is the best time of year to rent a car in Virginia Beach?
