Discover Virginia Beach attractions by car

Virginia Beach boasts an array of attractions that are best explored with a rental car. From the iconic Neptune statue on the boardwalk to the tranquil First Landing State Park, having your own vehicle allows you to seamlessly navigate between the city's diverse offerings. A car rental gives you the flexibility to visit popular spots like the Virginia Aquarium, Military Aviation Museum, and the picturesque Sandbridge Beach at your own pace.


Soak up the sun at Virginia Beach Oceanfront

The Virginia Beach Oceanfront is a must-visit destination for any traveler. This lively stretch of golden sand is perfect for sunbathing, swimming, and people-watching. With your rental car, you can easily access the numerous parking lots along Atlantic Avenue. Don't miss the opportunity to stroll along the famous three-mile boardwalk, dotted with restaurants, shops, and street performers. For a unique experience, drive to Grommet Island Park, an accessible beach playground for visitors of all abilities.


Explore the natural beauty of First Landing State Park

First Landing State Park offers a serene escape just a short drive from the bustling beach scene. This 2,888-acre park features diverse ecosystems, including cypress swamps, salt marshes, and maritime forests. With your rental car, you can easily access the park's entrance and parking areas. Take a leisurely drive through the park's scenic roads before embarking on one of the many hiking trails. Don't forget to visit the Cape Henry Lighthouse, located near the park, for panoramic views of the Chesapeake Bay.


Immerse yourself in history at Military Aviation Museum

The Military Aviation Museum is a hidden gem for aviation enthusiasts and history buffs alike. Located in the Pungo area of Virginia Beach, this museum houses one of the largest private collections of World War I and World War II era military aircraft. With your rental car, you can easily reach this off-the-beaten-path attraction. The museum offers ample parking, and you'll have the flexibility to spend as much time as you like exploring the vintage aircraft and learning about their fascinating histories.

Virginia Beach offers several convenient pickup locations for rental cars. The Norfolk International Airport is a popular choice, providing easy access for guests arriving by plane. Virginia Beach Boulevard, a major thoroughfare, hosts multiple pickup points, offering flexibility for guests staying in different parts of the city. The Oceanfront area is another convenient option, ideal for those wanting to start their beach vacation right away. Some hosts on Turo even offer delivery service to your location, adding an extra layer of convenience. When comparing options, consider factors like proximity to your accommodation, operating hours, and potential traffic during peak seasons. Ultimately, the best pickup location depends on your specific travel plans and where you'll be spending most of your time in Virginia Beach.

What are some recommended car types for exploring Virginia Beach and its surrounding areas?

When exploring Virginia Beach and its surroundings, consider renting a versatile vehicle that suits your needs. A mid-size SUV offers comfort for beach trips and ample space for gear. For urban adventures along Virginia Beach Boulevard, a compact car provides easy maneuverability and parking. If you're planning scenic coastal drives, a convertible lets you enjoy the ocean breeze. For larger groups or families, a minivan ensures everyone travels comfortably. Electric vehicles are also gaining popularity, offering an eco-friendly option for your Virginia Beach experience. Remember to choose a car that matches your itinerary, whether you're heading to Norfolk or cruising along the beach.

How can drivers navigate peak hour traffic in Virginia Beach efficiently?

Navigating peak hour traffic in Virginia Beach requires some strategic planning. Utilize traffic apps to stay informed about congestion on major routes like Virginia Beach Boulevard. Consider alternative paths to avoid busiest areas during rush hours. If possible, plan your trips outside peak times, typically early mornings and late afternoons on weekdays. When heading to popular spots like the beach or Norfolk, leave extra time for your journey. Familiarize yourself with the city's layout, including lesser-known side streets that can serve as shortcuts. Remember, patience is key during busy periods. If you're flexible, explore Virginia Beach's attractions during off-peak hours to make the most of your car rental experience.

Where can visitors find convenient parking facilities near popular attractions in Virginia Beach?

Virginia Beach offers various parking options near its popular attractions. At the Oceanfront, you'll find numerous public parking lots and garages, some offering full-day rates. Street parking is available but can be limited during peak season. For beach access, consider the lots at 2nd, 4th, and 19th Streets. When visiting the Virginia Aquarium, ample free parking is provided on-site. Town Center area has both street parking and garages. If you're heading to First Landing State Park, parking is available within the park for a small fee. Remember to read signs carefully for any time restrictions or permit requirements. During busy periods, arriving early can help secure a spot closer to your destination.

What are some pleasant driving routes to enjoy the coastal scenery around Virginia Beach?

Virginia Beach offers several scenic driving routes to soak in the coastal beauty. The Shore Drive route provides stunning views of the Chesapeake Bay, with opportunities to stop at First Landing State Park. For a longer journey, take the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, offering a unique driving experience over and under the water. The Virginia Beach Boardwalk is another picturesque drive, especially during quieter times. Heading south, the Sandbridge area offers a more secluded coastal drive. For inland scenery, explore the rural roads around Pungo, particularly beautiful during strawberry season. Remember to take your time, enjoy the views, and respect local traffic laws while discovering these scenic routes in your rental car.

Are there any tolls to be aware of when driving in and around Virginia Beach?

While Virginia Beach itself doesn't have toll roads, drivers should be aware of tolls in the surrounding areas. The most notable is the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, connecting Virginia Beach to the Eastern Shore. This impressive structure has a toll that varies based on vehicle size and time of year. If you're planning trips to nearby cities, be prepared for potential tolls. For instance, driving to Norfolk might involve toll roads like the Midtown and Downtown Tunnels. Some roads offer E-ZPass lanes for quicker passage. It's advisable to keep some cash on hand for tolls, though many now accept credit cards. Always check your planned route in advance to budget for any potential toll expenses during your Virginia Beach visit.

What should drivers know about gas stations and fuel availability in Virginia Beach?

Virginia Beach has ample gas stations throughout the city, ensuring convenient refueling for your rental car. You'll find numerous options along major roads like Virginia Beach Boulevard and near popular areas such as the Oceanfront. Many stations are open 24/7, particularly those on main thoroughfares. Prices can vary, so it's worth comparing if you're budget-conscious. Some stations near the beach or airport might be pricier. Consider using gas price comparison apps to find the best deals. Remember to refuel before heading to more remote areas or embarking on longer drives. Most stations offer both regular and premium fuel options. Some also provide diesel, though it's less common. Always check your rental agreement for any specific fuel requirements to avoid additional charges.

How can renters prepare for driving in various weather conditions common to Virginia Beach?

Preparing for Virginia Beach's weather conditions is crucial for a safe driving experience. In summer, be ready for intense heat and occasional thunderstorms. Ensure your rental car's air conditioning works well and wipers are in good condition. During hurricane season (June to November), stay informed about weather forecasts and potential evacuations. Winter can bring occasional snow and ice, especially inland. If renting during colder months, consider a vehicle with all-wheel drive. Spring and fall are generally mild, but can be rainy. Always check weather reports before setting out, particularly for beach trips or longer drives. Pack accordingly - sunglasses for bright days, and a light jacket for cooler evenings. Remember, weather can affect road conditions, so adjust your driving accordingly to enjoy your Virginia Beach adventure safely.

What are some key differences between driving in Virginia Beach's urban areas versus nearby rural roads?

Driving in Virginia Beach's urban areas differs significantly from nearby rural roads. In the city, especially along Virginia Beach Boulevard, expect more traffic, frequent stops, and a grid-like street layout. Urban driving requires vigilance for pedestrians, cyclists, and sudden lane changes. Parking can be challenging, particularly near the beach. Rural roads, like those around Pungo, offer a more relaxed drive with scenic views. However, they may have fewer lanes, limited lighting, and occasional wildlife crossings. Speed limits typically increase on rural roads, but be cautious of sudden curves or hidden driveways. In urban areas, you'll find more gas stations and amenities, while rural drives might require planning for fuel stops. Whether exploring the bustling Oceanfront or the tranquil countryside, adapt your driving style to enjoy both aspects of Virginia Beach safely.
