Can I rent a car from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA)?

Read through your booking for the finer details or click through to our Customer Service Portal for more information.
What types of cars can I rent in Washington?
Cost-effective, zippy and with excellent mileage, it’s no coincidence that compact cars are the most booked rental category in Washington. Explore this city in one of these and you’ll be able to fit into tight parking spaces and easily get around busy streets. A compact is ideal for city adventures or shorter road trips. But they’re not your only choice. Go even smaller with an economy ride or stretch out in a full-size or premium — the choice is all yours!
Where can I go on a road trip from Washington?
There’s so much to do in Washington, but venture farther afield and you’ll find even more magic. Grab a set of wheels and you can wander around the greater area at your leisure. Add these fantastic drives to your list:

  • Baltimore is around 35 mi from Washington. Notable sights like National Aquarium in Baltimore deserve to be high on your list while you’re in town.
  • Your next pit stop? It has to be Philadelphia, which is around 120 mi away. Liberty Bell Center is one local draw card you really shouldn’t miss.
  • Get out into the great outdoors and inhale the fresh air at Norfolk Botanical Garden. You’ll find it approximately 150 mi from Washington.

Where can I find a Washington car rental if I am younger than 25?

It’s handy to know this in advance so you can have the funds ready. Every rental car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so be sure to do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Washington?
Make a safe start to your road trip by purchasing Expedia’s collision damage protection. While there are all kinds of rental car insurance, this is one you should have.
