Top tips for renting a car in Chesapeake


Chesapeake has so much to see and do, so you'll want to brush up on your Virginian road rules to maximize your time in the area. Here are our top tips on driving, parking, and fueling up in Chesapeake.


What are the road rules and driving conditions in Chesapeake?


Driving in Chesapeake is generally smooth, but the city is a mix of suburban, rural, and urban areas with major highways running through it. Rush hour can get congested near the Chesapeake Expressway. Some areas near the Great Dismal Swamp Canal Trail are more isolated and the roads can be more difficult to drive on. Rain and occasional flooding can make roads slick, and in winter, snow is rare but can cause major slowdowns since drivers aren't used to it.

As always, drive to the speed limit and wear a seatbelt. Remember to only operate your phone on hands-free mode too, and always keep your eyes on the road.


What is parking like in Chesapeake?


Parking in Chesapeake is easy and convenient, especially compared to nearby cities like Norfolk or Virginia Beach. Places like Greenbrier Mall and Chesapeake Square have large, free parking lots. There's no true downtown like in other cities, so parking is usually free and easy to find near local businesses and restaurants.


Are there toll roads in Chesapeake?


Yes, there are a few toll roads in and around Chesapeake. The Chesapeake Expressway is a major toll road leading toward North Carolina and the Outer Banks and is great for beach access, but you'll need to keep tolls in mind. Downtown Tunnel and Midtown Tunnel connect Chesapeake with Norfolk, which you'll need an E-ZPass for. The Jordan Bridge is a toll bridge connecting Chesapeake and Portsmouth, so if you're adventuring out of Chesapeake, you'll need to keep these toll roads in mind.


Are there gas stations and EV chargers in Chesapeake?


Yes, there are plenty of gas stations in Chesapeake for you to fuel up. Choose from one of two Shell stations on Battlefield Blvd, Exxon on Portlock Road, or Shell on Taylor Road.

If you're driving an electric vehicle, there are ample EV chargers for you to keep your trip charged. Visit the EVgo charging station on Greenbrier Parkway, the Tesla Supercharger on Battlefield Blvd, or the ChargePoint Charging Station on Military Highway.


Do I need to rent a car in Chesapeake?


Chesapeake is a very car-dependent city, so renting a car is highly recommended. If you want to explore the whole city, visit beaches, parks, or the Outer Banks, you can only do this with a rental car. Everything in Chesapeake is spread out, so if you want to see all of the attractions and outdoor beauty Chesapeake has to offer, renting a car is the best option.

Frequently asked questions about Chesapeake car rentals

What documents and paperwork do you need to rent a car on Turo?

To rent a car on Turo, you must create a Turo account, have a valid driver’s license, get approved to drive on Turo, and be 18 years old or older in the US, 21 years old or older in Australia, or 23 years old or older in Canada.

In the UK, you must be 21 years old or older and have held a UK or EU license for at least one year, or another driver’s license for at least two years. In France you must be 18 years old or older and have held a driver’s license for at least 2 years, longer for certain makes and models of vehicles.

When you’re booking your first trip, you’ll go through a quick approval process by entering your driver’s license and some other information. In most cases, you’ll get approved immediately, and you’ll be set for all future road trips, day trips, and business trips!

What kind of license do I need to rent a car on Turo?

Turo accepts valid licenses (not expired, suspended, or revoked) that allow for full driving privileges; this includes driver’s licenses issued outside of the US. Licenses that Turo doesn’t accept in the US include any that have expired, have been altered, are conditional, probational, provisional, or restricted. Learner’s permit/instruction permits are not accepted.

Do I need to be a certain age to rent a car on Turo?

To rent a car on Turo in the US, you must be 18 years old or older.

How does car rental insurance work on Turo?

No, you don’t need personal insurance coverage to rent a car on Turo.

In the US, any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your Turo protection plan. When booking a car in the US, you’ll choose between three protection plans — Premier (eligibility requirements apply), Standard, or Minimum — to get the level of protection that’s right for you. On each trip, you’re covered with third-party automobile liability insurance provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company.*

In New York state, you’ll also choose between Premier (if available), Standard, or Minimum. With each plan, you’re covered with liability insurance of $1,250,000.* Protection plans for New York trips also include access to roadside assistance, priority phone support, and 24/7 customer assistance.

Can I get car rental discounts on Turo?

You can get discounts and low cost car rental on Turo.

On your Account page, make sure you’ve checked the box to receive email notifications, and enable push notifications from the Turo app in your phone settings — we’ll send you occasional promo codes, discounts, and deals.

See more about promotions & discounts

Is there unlimited mileage car rental on Turo?

Some hosts offer unlimited distance for a trip; others set a daily distance limit — you’ll need to check on each rental car individually to see if this service is provided. On the vehicle pages, you’ll see the total miles or kilometres you’re allowed to drive under the heading “Distance included.” You can find cars offering unlimited mileage with every trip by using the “Unlimited distance” filter.

Can other people drive the car that I rented?

Yes, multiple guests can drive the car you rent on Turo, as long as they are all approved to drive. The primary driver (whoever rented the car) can add additional drivers with no fees or additional charges. Only the primary driver can request to add drivers; Turo hosts cannot do it for you. We encourage you to request to add additional drivers before your trip starts, though guests can request to add a driver while a trip is in progress.

To speed up the process, have your additional driver create a Turo account and get approved to drive before you request to add them. All drivers must have a valid driver’s license and meet the age requirements for the car you’ve booked. You can request to add drivers via the “Trips” tab in the Turo app without additional driver charges or extra costs.

How much does it cost to rent a car in Chesapeake? 

The cost of car rental in Chesapeake can vary depending on car type, booking length, extras, and delivery. For cheap car rental in Chesapeake, look out for discounts on longer-duration bookings and early bookings.

What types of cars can I rent on Turo in Chesapeake?

Whether you want to spin around Chesapeake in a Range Rover, Kia Optima, Tesla Model Y, Ford Super Duty, or Chevrolet Volt, you can find all of these and more on Turo. There's a range of vehicle classes available, like SUVs, trucks, vans, and sedans (just to name a few). Popular makes and models include the Toyota Highlander, Dodge Journey, Tesla Cybertruck, and Chevrolet Corvette.
