Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Washington car reservation?
Scan over your cancellation policy to be sure, but almost all rentals will receive a total refund if you let us know at least six hours before the scheduled collection time. There are some exclusions though. Your booking will have more details, or just jump onto our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Washington?
Reasonably priced, zippy and delivering great mileage, it's no wonder compact cars are the most booked type of rental in Washington. Drive around this city in one of these and you'll be able to slide into tight parking spaces and easily dart around busy streets. A compact is ideal for city getaways or short road trips. But they're not your only choice. Go even smaller with an economy model or bigger with an intermediate, a full-size or premium — the choice is all yours!

How do I find the best car rental deals in Washington with Expedia?

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Washington?
You need to be at least 21 to slide behind the wheel of a rental car in Washington. Take note that young drivers may only be able to rent from a few car classes, such as compact and economy. Higher age limits usually apply for specialty and luxury vehicles. Most companies will also charge a fee for young renters. Read the rules carefully before clicking book and factor any extra fees into your budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Washington?
Any rental company you select will ask for these two things — a current driver's licence and credit card. If you decide to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up your ride.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Washington?
You can, and the terrific news is companies often offer lower rates the longer you rent. Browse our long-term car rental deals in Washington and cruise away with a serious bargain.
Where can I find a Washington car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the rental companies operating in Washington. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under 25, keep in mind that extra costs may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before booking your rental car.
