What types of cars can I rent in Washington?
Not too small yet not too big, compact vehicles are the number one choice for many visiting motorists in Washington. With superb gas mileage and easy parking and manoeuvrability, they're ideal for navigating the city. A compact car is slightly roomier than an economy vehicle, so you can get around in a little extra comfort and style. Prefer something bigger?

Yes, so you won't have to rebook a rental car in the middle of your holiday. Head over to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and secure a set of wheels that's all yours for the length of your break.
Where can I find a Washington car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the car rental companies that operate in Washington. They often have different age policies. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, bear in mind that extra fees may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before collecting the vehicle.
