Unlimited miles is a good option if you plan to do a bit of sightseeing or visit a lot of customers all over Norfolk. You can drive wherever you like and not incur extra charges. Go over your policy to see if there are any limitations.

Before you drive off

Before you begin on your Norfolk trip, check out a few items before you leave the car rental lot. It's important to:

• Look over the car and be sure there is no damage or scrapes. If you notice any, write it down on the paperwork
• Check the trunk to determine if the spare is inflated and the jack and lung wrench are there
• Familiarize yourself with the car. Adjust the mirrors and seats, and note how to turn on the lights and windshield wipers
• Get comfortable operating the entertainment and GPS (if available). It's best to limit any unneeded distractions when you are driving around a new city
