Car Hire Norfolk

Norfolk is a big city, the second largest in Virginia and hosts the world’s largest naval base. It’s on Chesapeake Bay, one of America’s biggest and most attractive bays. The city has a long and varied history with it first being settled nearly four hundred years ago. During the War of Independence, the city was almost totally destroyed only to grow stronger and wiser from its ashes. Today it is a thriving city, buoyed by the presence of the navy but also diversified enough to attract a variety of visitors.
 

Norfolk International Airport located three miles away from the centre of the city, serves Norfolk and the towns and cities of Chesapeake Bay. More than eighty flights a day leave the airport taking nearly four million passengers to destinations within the US including Los Angeles and New York. Surprisingly for such a large airport there is no public transport to Norfolk from the airport and only taxis, car hire and a bookable shuttle bus to Norfolk’s hotels. 
 

Popular excursions include a tour of the naval base guided by service personnel during which you’ll see a large amount of naval hardware and be given the eye-watering statistics of the base and its operations. You can also get a two hour boat trip around Chesapeake Bay, seeing the coastline and the cities from the water. There are also a number of good museums and galleries in the city worth an hour or so of your time.

Norfolk is part of a very historic region that can trace its past back to the early days of the colony. The best way to get around, seeing the beautiful buildings that date from the last four hundred years is to pick up a hire car in Norfolk and follow the guide book around the city. There’s more to the city than its history and car hire in Norfolk can take you around Chesapeake Bay to see the modern city from a different aspect.
