Insights shared by verified travelers who rented a car in Washington, D.C.

Don't waste time renting an electric car unless you have EV charging at your destination
NapMay 2026
Leave enough time for the shuttle and check in before you get there to skip the line
Verified travelerFeb 2026
Be VERY cautious when reserving cars at non-airport locations, especially if you are trying to get a car that same day. The app will let you reserve a car and then when you go to pick it up they will turn you away because they have no cars available. Inexcusable.
Verified travelerAug 2025
Do not rent at the airport if you can help it.
Verified travelerJul 2024
If you are dropping off the vehicle in another location, don’t count on there being a service station near the drop-off site. Fill the vehicle early. If you need to drop off the car in Philadelphia, avoid any location in the urban area. Find a site in the outskirts of the city.

Union Station has limited cars available but can be convenient for locals.
ApoorvaFeb 2024
Call ahead and ask the day before if they have cars or not, else don’t be surprised if your trip is ruined.

Alamo, National, and Enterprise are the best options at DCA. I fly into DCA regularly and have never had a bad experience with them. They also stay open latest in the event that your flight is delayed. Also, DCA is a small airport, and I prefer the brief walk outside to the rental car counter (there are signs--go toward the south/metro exit) over the shuttle, in fair weather.
Jean-LouisOct 2023
Get an EZ-pass if you plan to use the toll roads. Be aware that tolls on I-66 and I-495 are based on traffic load. So getting on these toll roads could be expensive based on the time of day and traffic load; however, it may save you sometime getting around the Nation's Capital during rush hour.
Verified travelerNov 2023
Make sure to stick to the requested vehicle.
KellyJun 2023
When possible, rent from the airport locations. The city offices are satellite locations and may run out of cars
Verified travelerJun 2023
Use Turo for return trips (when you factor in insurance it's much cheaper).

Driving in DC is a bit more aggressive than any other place I've have driven. There is a lot of traffic and depending of the destination parking is scarce.

GPS, Google Map seems a must.. Expect tough traffic in Arlington Va. and D.C. Parked only at hotels. motels.. May want to pre plan garages..

KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Washington, D.C.

  • Travelers flying into Washington, D.C. will want to consider renting a car, as cars offer the best access to many of the popular sites and day trips around D.C. For instance, FedExField, home to the Washington Redskins, takes over an hour to get to on public transportation, but only takes 30 minutes in a car. Popular tourist spots such as Shenandoah National Park and Mount Vernon are also easily reached in a hire car.
  • Fortunately for would-be hire car drivers with flights to Washington, D.C., all of the airports in the greater metropolitan area have easily accessible hire car centers. In Washington Dulles Airport, shuttles outside of the Baggage Claim Area will take travelers to the hire lot, while at Reagan National Airport, travelers will find the hire shuttle outside of Door 4 on the ticketing level.
  • Rush hour is no joke in Washington, D.C. and travelers should plan accordingly. Morning rush hour lasts from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. and evening rush hour lasts from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. During those times, Key Bridge, Southeast Freeway, Chain Bridge, and New York Avenue should all be avoided as they number among the most congested spots in D.C.
  • Visitors to Washington, D.C. should be prepared to deal with the city’s famed traffic circles. Traffic circles such as Dupont Circle, Logan Circle, and Thomas Circle are notoriously difficult to navigate for first-time visitors, but with a bit of pre-planning and appropriate route planning, they should be no problem.

No car after an 11 hour flight delay. Finally offered an older model Tesla which wouldn't hold a charge, trunk and door locks didn't work. Drop off was a nightmare. We were told we could drop off after hours in Newark. Key wouldn't fit so we left the car and had to FedEx the key to them despite the Hertz agent telling us to return the key in Manhattan (our destination,). No adjustment in price for delay or lack of car. Now they're claiming major damage to the car and trying to charge us extra. It has been the worst rental experience in 45 years of renting cars. Can't reach a person on the phone either. Their "customer service" is completely AI driven. I will NEVER rent from Hertz again.

The Kia assigned had a malfunction of the air conditioning system that likely had been noticed by an employee during cleaning. When I called the Hertz location, I got no answer multiple times. I then called another local Hertz that was actually closer at that moment and the same thing, no answer multiple times. I drove to that second location and they swapped the vehicle for the only thing they had available, a Jeep Wrangler. Much worse fuel, mileage, and noisier, but at least it worked. It had not been cleaned up at all and had around 3/4 of a tank of fuel. When I returned it, I noted the experience with the kind & concerned staff member (in another city,) and she kindly credited a good portion of the rental for all the mishaps, which I very much appreciated.

We had to wait a long time at pickup and then were told that they had only a pickup truck or van, we had requested a smaller car and confirmed it in line before we went. We also filled out all the forms online Ann bc still were asked those questions. The lights on the car were finicky and the police pulled us over for rear lights being out . Overall a terrible experience, we won’t be back.

Car wasn't ready at the time I reserved so had to wait for another vehicle. Then when I got the car it was dirty and had trash from the prior customer. Also, the facility in downtown DC was dirty. The underground garage where you pick up the vehicle had busted old furniture that they just had sitting in one of the parking spaces. I expect more from a brand name rental car company.

I ordered a compact SUV and received a Toyota Corolla. The budget office in Georgetown had experienced a bad flood and they were preparing orders on a car. They did not provide the SUV I reserved even though there was considerable snow in the streets still. When I returned the car seven hours later, the Budget rep asked if I knew the mileage by heart which I did not. I had just put $6.50 of fuel in the car based on my mileage. She charged me an additional $15 because the Budget rep on the phone when I saw the $80+ dollars for the $29 compact SUV never received. I provided via email my receipt and SUV reservation as he requested. Then, I receive a lousy $30 refund. I will never recommend budget but will retell the scam to many. Use ENTERPRISE. They are more accountable.

Super clean, nice new car, the only problem we had was one tire tiny. It was slow and air, besides that everything else was great.

This would have been a good experience apart from two things: 1) the repeated pestering texts and e-mails insisting that I check in online in advance, which I tried to do but the system didn't work; and 2) HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. I waited for over half an hour to speak to someone in India who was hard to understand and then in the end said she couldn't do anything to change my pick-up time because I had booked through a third party service, and gave me a non-functional phone number to try to reach the airport desk. What a pity. The car was fine and the airport pick-up staff were fine. But I will never use Dollar again because that company wouldn't let those people just do their job.

I wasn’t even able to get a car even though I had a reservation! Your marajuana-smell filled establishment said I had to wait possibly 3 hours to even get a car!!!!!!! Absolutely horrible customer service. I will NEVER rent a car from enterprise again and will tell everyone I know in DC to stay away. *literally people rolling drugs in the waiting area!!!!!

They didn't honor the Ford Transit I'd reserved and instead offered me a minivan. I arrived at the counter and they told me if I wanted the car I reserved, I'd need to pay an ADDITIONAL $105 per day for an "upgrade." I showed them the email that identified that I had booked a Transit. They didn't care. The manager was extremely rude and ran off when I asked them to honor the original reservation. This was extremely disruptive because I'd a trip planned that included 9 passengers. I did NOT reserve a minivan, but a 12-passenger van because of this reason. I think potentially Kayak messed up this reservation (putting the transit as a preference not a requirement). However, my email confirmation said Transit. Either way i didn't get the car, my reservation was canceled, and I was left scrambling. That DCA Thrify location was the absolute worst customer experience I had ever had.

The staff was professional but heavy handed on the upselling despite Thrifty shorting me the car I signed up for. Thrifty “did not have” the car I rented (RAV4) and so I got stuck with a Kia. I was told they could “try to look for one but it’s unlikely there are any.” The extra-fee/skip the line/go straight to your rental app wasn’t working. The requirement to go to the desk to check in was probably for the heavy-handed upselling of additional coverage even though I already had coverage from my own insurance (I was told it would just be easier that going through my insurance). It was all deeply annoying and underwhelming.

Rented a transit van or similar passenger van, all they had was a minivan. Said the issue was on Kayak’s side, not there’s. I could rent a second vehicle to fit my party at current prices. Walked away with an eight passenger minivan for twelve people.

This location is an absolute nightmare. Read Google reviews all the same story. Bottom line you can’t rely on them to have a car for you when you get there. Doesn’t matter if you reserve well in advance and prepay. And when you finally get a car, I got mine with 16 percent gas left and the car reeked of marijuana. Do yourself a favor and do not rent from them.

My flight was delayed by many hours. I was not able to get to the Thrifty counter before it closed. Although I kept Thrifty apprised of these delays thruout the evening, they still have not honored my request for a full refund. I will need to contact my credit card company to deal with this.
