Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Washington?
Exciting road trip adventures await in Washington, with daily rental car rates starting from a budget-friendly AU$116. That's based on prices found within the past seven days.
What happens if I need to cancel my Washington car reservation?
We realise that things can change at the last minute. That's why many prepaid rentals allow for a total refund if you cancel a minimum of six hours before the collection time. Your cancellation policy should include all the info you need. If you can't see the answer there, our Customer Service Portal is always here to help.
What types of cars can I rent in Washington?
Economical, zippy and delivering great mileage, it's no wonder compact cars are the most booked rental in Washington. Explore this city in one of these and you'll be able to fit into tight parking spaces and easily manoeuvre busy streets. A compact is ideal for city adventures or shorter road trips. But they're not your only options. Go even smaller with an economy ride or stretch out in an intermediate, a full-size or premium — the choice is yours!
Where can I go on a road trip from Washington?
Washington is full of adventures, but don't limit yourself to only one place. Grab a set of wheels and hit the open road to explore the wider region. Here are some great options:

  • Head to Providence for a fantastic sightseeing adventure. Around 161 kilometres from Washington, it's home to tons of amazing attractions, including Roger Williams Park Zoo.
  • About 56 kilometres away, Hartford is also a hit with travellers. Be sure to check out Mark Twain House & Museum while you're in town. It's one of the reasons people love staying a while in this vibrant city.
  • Spend time in the outdoors and take in the serenity at Plymouth Rock. You'll find it around 225 kilometres from Washington.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Washington?
Washington requires drivers to be at least 21 to be able to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect an extra cost and tighter rental conditions. Most suppliers impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the standard car rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like compact and mid-size) are available to young drivers, restrictions generally apply to specialty and premium cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Washington?
Generally, you'll need a driver's licence and credit card in your name when picking up the car. Proof of coverage may also be required if you'd like to opt out of the company's insurance policy. Requirements are likely to differ between rental companies, so be sure to check before you book.
What is the cheapest car rental in Washington?
AU$116 and AU$125 were the cheapest daily prices for rental vehicles in Washington within the past seven days. 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 Washington?
Click on our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and then choose a ride that suits. Whether you're staying put in Washington or road-tripping around, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at an awesome rate.
Where can I find a Washington car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the rental companies that are in Washington. They often have different age policies. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, bear in mind that additional fees may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before booking your rental car.
Can I drive in Washington with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license from the United States, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car in the U.S. 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 forms of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 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 company you're renting from before you travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you get behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse off-road areas with a rental car. Please read the details before booking!
