What is the best type of car to rent in Washington DC?

The DC area has some of the most interesting and exciting historical sites in America—not to mention some of the most powerful people. Whether you’re here for business or pleasure, Budget can find the right DCA car rental for you.

Van Rental

A passenger van rental comes with either 12 or 15 seats, perfect for a larger group visiting the U.S. Capitol Building. A minivan rental, such as a Nissan Quest, can take a family of up to 7 or 8 to the Smithsonian museums—with room for souvenirs.

SUV Rental

With all the tourists driving distracted because of the historical sights of DC, an SUV can give you the security of a high seating position and tough design. You’ll feel safer in DC traffic in a Jeep Patriot or a roomy GMC Yukon.

Long-Term Car Rental

Do you need to live or work in the Washington DC area for an extended time? A Budget monthly car rental service gives discounted rates the longer you rent—for 11 months or less. We’ll also discount your loss damage waiver and let you swap cars any time.
