Important information about Alexandria car rentals

It is just minutes to downtown Alexandria if you pick up your Alexandria car rental at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. You might first want to take a hotel shuttle, check in, and enjoy Alexandria’s walkable neighborhoods, like Old Town. Stroll down its brick and cobblestone streets, view historic architecture, shop on King street, and then head to the waterfront for a bite at Blackwall Hitachi or Hummingbird. Park nearby at meters or more than 20 inexpensive parking garages. Ready to venture further? Visit George Washington’s Mount Vernon home at the edge of town. Hop on the DASH bus system, which travels locally and connects you to other transit options. Or, since it is inexpensive and sometimes free to park here, why not choose an economy car rental from almost a dozen car rental locations in Alexandria? There are about five car rental locations in Alexandria.

While it is one of the most walkable small cities, you’ll be glad you have a car rental in Alexandria. You’ll want to drive to visit Fort Ward and local breweries in the West End neighborhood and use nearby street parking or parking garages. And, how about a day trip? Opt for a cheap car rental in Alexandria or a luxury car rental, and you’ll enjoy an easy journey to Baltimore's Inner Harbor. Or visit Fort McHenry, which is famous for being the inspiration for the "Star Spangled Banner." And what about some beach time? Load the gang into your passenger van rental and head to the boardwalk and sunny beaches of Ocean City Maryland. Parking lots are at or nearby these attractions. Avoid traffic by traveling outside of typical a.m. and p.m. commute hours, and if you’re headed to Washington, D.C., plan extra travel time for possible congestion around I-395 interchanges.

Like other U.S. states, Virginia requires everyone in car rentals in Alexandria to buckle up for safety. Children under seven years must be buckled into a child safety seat or a booster seat – but no specific height or weight requirement applies. While you can legally handle your phone in your car if you are stopped or parked, Virginia allows only hands-free phone operation for such actions as navigation, or talking with a headset or via Bluetooth while you are driving. Take care when dining out or having cocktails. Like most U.S. states, Virginia sets its a blood alcohol content level at 0.08% for drunk driving. However, even if you measure below 0.08% you can still be arrested, charged, and convicted with a DUI under that benchmark. Because regulations often change or are updated, it is best to check in with the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles prior to your trip.

It is legal to drive your rental car in Alexandria and throughout Virginia if you have a valid U.S. license. If you are visiting from another country, you can use a valid driver’s license from your country or an international driver’s permit. The international driver’s permit can be helpful when renting your vehicle, or even at a traffic stop, especially if your license is in a language other than English.
