Tips for renting a car in Washington

A few things to know before you rent a car in Washington:

Book ahead during peak travel periods — rates in Washington can rise as availability tightens closer to your pickup date.
Bring a valid driver's license and a credit or debit card in the renter's name to avoid delays at the counter.
Ask about one-way rentals if you're planning to pick up in Washington and drop off somewhere else in District of Columbia.
Photograph the vehicle at pickup and return so there's a clear record of its condition both times.
Confirm your fuel policy before you drive off — full-to-full is usually the most affordable option.

Frequently asked questions

What's the minimum age to rent a car in Washington?

Most rentals in Washington require renters to be at least 21, with drivers under 25 sometimes subject to a young-driver surcharge. Call 1-855-284-3545 to confirm current age requirements for your pickup.

Can I pick up in Washington and return the car elsewhere?

One-way rentals are often available depending on the vehicle class and dates. Let our team know your route when you call and we'll check availability for a Washington pickup with a different return location.

Do I need my own insurance?

Rentals include the state-required minimum coverage. Optional protection plans are available at pickup if you'd like additional coverage beyond your personal auto policy or credit card benefits.

How far in advance should I book?
