The main things are a valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. Many car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of alternative coverage if you choose to opt out. We recommend checking with your supplier to avoid any problems.
What side of the road do you drive on in Bethesda?
In Bethesda, motorists drive on the left-hand side of the road. This in itself can be daunting, but the driver's seat and some controls are also on the opposite side to the U.S. For a safer ride, take things slow at first and leave yourself some extra time to reach your destination.

Where can I find a Bethesda car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the rental companies located in Bethesda. They often have different age policies. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, be aware that additional costs may apply. Conduct some research into any extra charges before picking up your vehicle.
