Still have some questions? If you can't find the answer in your itinerary, our Customer Service Portal is available to help 24/7.
What types of cars can I rent in Bethesda?
Keep costs low with an economy, splash out on a premium ride or go for something in between, like an intermediate. But it's hard to go past a compact car — the most commonly booked rental type in Bethesda. They're a cinch to park and handle, fuel-efficient and a smart idea if you're visiting busy cities. A step up from economy, you can expect a little more room and comfort while still getting a wonderful deal.
Where can I go on a road trip from Bethesda?
Bethesda is full of adventures, but don't limit yourself to one place. Organise a set of wheels and head off to see what else awaits in the wider area. Here are some places to consider:

  • You'll find Richmond Raceway and countless other amazing attractions in Richmond. From Bethesda, it's 161 kilometres away.
  • Around 56 kilometres away, Baltimore is also a hit with travellers. Make sure you take in National Aquarium in Baltimore while you're here. It's one of the reasons people love coming to this thriving city.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Bethesda?
At least 21. But there are several age-related rules you should bear in mind before booking your wheels in Bethesda. If you're a younger driver, rental providers will likely charge an extra fee and limit the types of vehicles you're able to rent. The surcharge, and which ages it applies to, varies between suppliers. It's a good idea to compare the rules.
What do you need to rent a car in Bethesda?
While booking conditions may differ between rental car outlets, the two main things you'll need are a current driver's licence and a credit card. You don't need to take out the company's auto insurance. However, proof of your own coverage may be necessary.
What is the cheapest car rental in Bethesda?
Bethesda has no doubt had some very happy car rental customers lately. The cheapest daily rates recorded within the past seven days were AU$80 and AU$98. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Bethesda?
Expedia makes it a cinch to find a reliable long-term rental in Bethesda. Simply head to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and explore your possibilities.
Where can I find a Bethesda car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to investigate the age policy of the Bethesda rental suppliers you're considering. If you're under the age of 25, some outlets will charge extra fees. It's best to know about this before arriving at the desk so you can plan your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own policies for young drivers, so do your research.
Can I drive in Bethesda with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license from the United States, you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, note that you'll also need to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your rental car. Please read the details before you book!
