KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Dale City

  • Car rentals in Dale City offer several advantages over public buses or trains. With a rental car, you can plan your own schedules, making it easier to explore the region at your own pace without being limited by fixed bus or train timetables. Additionally, car rentals in Dale City offer the convenience of door-to-door transportation, eliminating the need to walk to and from transit stations or stops.

Upon arrival at DCA, exit the terminal and board an airport shuttle bus headed to Rental Cars (Parking Garage A), where you'll find the on-airport car rental counters on the first floor of Parking 1. To reach the car rental facility at IAD, exit the bagage claim area and head to the shuttle stop at pick-up zones 2C-2D. The airport shuttle will transport you to the rental car center. Once at BWI, exit from the lower level of baggage claim in area B and board the airport shuttle bus, operating every 5-7 minutes for transport to the consolidated car rental facility.

Cons:

I had plans to take a group of ten people to celebrate a birthday. When I went to get my vehicle they said they’d called the day before to confirm and left a message. Because I didn’t answer the phone they gave my vehicle to someone else. They should just take a deposit from people. Then they would still get their money. I checked my messages and missed calls and had not received either. Very poor business practice.

Pros:

Efficient dropnoff.

Cons:

When I explained the problems, I was asked if I told Hertz at Bradley airport that the car was dirty (trunk area where luggage would go covered in some sticky stuff) to which I replied that I learned it was dirty after starting my trip. I did not check trunk area at pickup. Hertz could have offererd some discount to make up for the inconvenience.
