Cheap People Carrier Hire in Washington, D.C.
Top Tips for Hiring a People Carrier in Washington, D.C.
- Travelers will have three airport rental locations in Washington DC. Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD), Ronald Reagan Washington International Airport (DCA), and Baltimore/Washington International Airport (BWI) are the optional locations to acquire Washington DC van rentals. DCA is the closest to the city, located about six miles away. Rental counters of agencies like Alamo and Enterprise are on Level 1 of airport Parking 1. Rentals counters at IAD are along Autopilot Drive, with a shuttle available to offer free transport to and from the airport. SIXT, Dollar, and Avis are some of the main providers at IAD. Alternatively, travelers can also rent a van from the car rental facility at BWI from providers like Budget, National, and Thrifty.
- If you’re traveling to Washington with a group of friends, colleagues, or family, consider renting a van. Vans are a good option as they are spacious and save you money since they eliminate the need for multiple rental vehicles and come at affordable rates. It is also easy to keep track of your travel group when you move around in one rental van, unlike if you move in multiple vehicles.
- Driving Washington DC van rentals in the downtown area can be difficult for a visitor. The streets change direction frequently, so you can easily confuse directions. We recommend mapping your route before heading out or getting GPS on your van rental to help with navigation. Also, almost all roads have automated red light cameras, so adhere to driving rules and speed limits to avoid incurring hefty fines.
- Avoid getting caught on Washington roads during the rush hours. The traffic congestion starts from 6 am to around 10 am and then again from 4 pm to 7 pm. The congestion is worse on days like Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Avoid Interstates 70 and 95 completely during the rush hours. Instead, use alternatives like Highways 270, 295, and 395 to reach your destination. Washington experiences one of the worst road congestion taking about 10 minutes to drive a couple of blocks.

FAQs About Hiring a People Carrier in Washington, D.C.
Where is the best car rental location in Washington to rent vans?
Airport rental locations are a more convenient option to rent vans in Washington. In particular, Washington Dulles International Airport is most preferable since it is the largest airport in the city, receiving most of the international flights to Washington. Moreover, companies like Hertz and Budget at IAD operate 24/7, so you can pick up Washington DC van rentals from IAD anytime. Alternatively, travelers can rent vans from DAC airport, which is closer to downtown Washington, unlike IAD.
What is the most reliable van brand to rent in Washington?
Ford, in particular the Ford Transit van, is very popular among renters in Washington and also one you can rely upon for all your travel needs. Ford vans are popular among the vehicle fleet of many rental agencies in Washington DC. However, we recommend booking your Ford van rental early in advance so that availability of the same can be guaranteed when you arrive.
Where are the best places to park in Washington?
Downtown has limited and expensive parking options, with metered street parking only available for up to 2h. Since Washington DC has an efficient Metro transport system, we recommend not heading into the city center with your van rental. It's best to park your van at one of the parking lots at the Metro stations, then board the Metro to the city center. Parking at the Metro station will cost a daily fee of around $5 on average, which is the most affordable parking option in the city. Colonial Parking and Laz Parking are other parking options to consider in town.

Matt, Jan 2021
Pros:
The car drove nicely and didn’t have any critical issues. The originally confirmed price (NOT what we were charged in the end) was wonderful.Cons:
We were hit with a $436.59 ‘’inner city fee’’ despite dropping off where confirmed by our desk agent in Atlanta. At that meeting as well, we waited over two hours as Thrifty, Hertz, and one additional rental company were all required to wait in the same line for two agents. Finally, our windshield wipers did not work on timed settings. During the hours of rain we experienced from Atlanta to New York City, our only option was to hold down the trigger manually.10.0 Wonderful

Cons:
We booked the car for 8:30am. We got there, the car was not ready. They tried to give us an upgrade of a V8 for a long trip when I booked an economical car. We then had to wait 45 mins for a car to arrive. It had tire pressure issues. They filled with air and said it was fine. We got down the road 5 mins and a warning light came on. We then had to find another Alamo to switch out the car which took another 40 mins as they had to do the paperwork and clean the car. 11am we were finally in the road for a 12 hour trip This is totally unacceptableOne location in Washington, D.C.
