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.
