What types of cars can I rent in Washington?
Keep things low-cost with an economy, splash out on a premium ride or go for something in between, like an intermediate. But it's hard to go past a compact vehicle — the top choice in Washington. They're a cinch to park and handle, fuel-efficient and a great idea if you're cruising around cities. An upgrade from economy, you can expect slightly more room and comfort at a price that's still affordable.
Where can I go on a road trip from Washington?
After you've checked out all of the fabulous attractions in Washington, there's a lot more to see in the surrounding area. Grab the keys to a rental car, throw your luggage in the trunk and get on the road. These are some road trips we think you'll love:

  • Head off to Providence for an excellent sightseeing experience. Approximately 153 kilometres from Washington, it has lots of amazing sights such as Roger Williams Park Zoo.
  • Your next stop? It has to be Hartford, which is around 72 kilometres away. Mark Twain House & Museum is one local draw card you really shouldn't miss.
  • Venture into the great outdoors and breathe in some fresh air at Plymouth Rock. You'll find it around 209 kilometres from Washington.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Washington?

Higher limits are in place for specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Washington?
A valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name are necessities. Don't want to take out the company's insurance plan? If that's the case, you may need proof of your own coverage. Requirements may differ between providers, so have a thorough read of your policy.

Where can I find a Washington car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental suppliers, so be prepared to do a bit of homework. Found a Washington supplier that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? Great news! Just be aware that a surcharge often applies to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're interested in will have all the details you need.
