KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Catonsville

  • Exploring the city with many local shops using Catonsville car rentals has never been easier. Driving car rentals makes maneuvering this large town known for its historic landmarks and buildings easier. Because car rentals are more flexible than public transportation, you can drive to Torpedo Factory Art Center, approximately 38 miles southwest of the city, the National Harbor, about 40 miles away, and Gettysburg National Military Park, about 50 miles northwest of the city.
  • Car rental agencies, including Enterprise, Alamo, Sixt, and Hertz, are located at the baggage claim area near the Main Terminal of Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD). When getting a car rental at the airport, you can expect long queues if the vehicles are in demand. The airport has several shuttles that run between the Main Terminal and the car rental offices to offer convenient transport to passengers.
  • When driving car rentals in Catonsville, you'll realize many pedestrians and bikers, especially on the narrow streets. So, drive slower on several roads, including Longwood Street and Baltimore Street, because there are many pedestrians and speeding cars. Observe the speed limits near legal crossing areas to ensure the safety of pedestrians. Also, the blood alcohol concentration shouldn't exceed 0.08 to avoid legal trouble.
  • Roads in Catonsville can be heavily affected by winter. When driving car rentals in Catonsville, you can experience frozen bridges and icy roads that are easy to navigate. Also, strong winds can blow snow on your windscreen, reducing visibility. Therefore, drive slower and dim your lights to increase visibility and avoid losing control. Driving during rush hours, usually between 7 am and 9 am and 4 pm and 6 pm on weekdays, can be stressful. Avoid Frederick Street because it’s the most affected. Instead, use alternative roads or begin your journey earlier to avoid traffic.
  • Book your car hire in Catonsville at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Intermediate hire cars in Catonsville are around 53% cheaper than other car types, on average

You can choose a full-size SUV, such as a Chevrolet Tahoe, from the car rental agencies in downtown Catonsville. The advantage of driving an SUV on city roads is the ease of navigating despite the weather or road conditions. Also, these car types are larger and heavier than most regular cars and have outstanding performance if you plan on driving a long distance.

  • What’s the speed limit in Catonsville?

    Speed limits in the city vary depending on the area or street. If driving on divided highways in residential areas, maintain a speed of 35 mph and 50 mph when driving on undivided highways. When driving on interstate highways, the maximum speed allowed is 70 mph, and 15 mph when driving near school zones. The city has many speed cameras and crossing guards to ensure drivers drive within the required speed limits to ensure the safety of pedestrians and other drivers.

  • Where are the best places to park in Catonsville?

    Finding a parking space for car rentals in Catonsville is easy. Parking in downtown Catonsville is the best choice because of its proximity to the streets. You can find a free parking spot in several hotels in the city. However, most private garages and parking meters charge, depending on the hours you park. National Pike Parking charges around $22 per day, Catonsville Plaza offers free parking for 2h daily, and on-street parking on Frederick Rd is free for the first 2h. If you park your car outside the city near Penn Station, you can access the city via public transportation such as the CityLink PURPLE bus or the Marc train.

Pros:

The woman who assisted me was so pleasant and went out of her way to get me the exact car I wanted and have it ready when I needed it. She was friendly and made me feel my safety was a priority in these difficult times. I wish I knew her name to explicitly thank her. Great experience overall.

Cons:

Not a thing.

Pros:

Quick drop off and pick up, easy to extend the rental as I needed.

Cons:

The price! I think $42-$45/day for a Fordecoa was a bit pricey.

My agent wasn't paying attention to what he was doing, He was talking to other people in the office. I didn't understand what he was saying. I walked out, didn't rent the car.

Pros:

The staff member who helped me was great - very professional and helpful.

The office was dirty and needed a lot of maintenance. The staff member who was helping me was wonderful but the rest of the staff were being loud and goofing off - making it difficult to hear and very distracting.

Wrong car, only option on the lot. Too small, hit my head on door way entering and departing car. Head touched the ceiling while driving. Smelled like smoke, uncomfortable and worn.
