KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in McLean

  • Travelers should consider car rentals in McLean since they save them from worries, giving them freedom and the flexibility to go wherever they want. With a rental car, you can explore the city's numerous attractions including George Washington Memorial Parkway, a riverside route featuring lush scenery and interesting monuments. It also lets you discover local sites like the stunning Great Falls Park, Lewinsville Park, and Old Town Trolley Tours which capture the area's rich history and exciting past. Capital Crescent Trail is a great way to experience the area's vibrant culture and history for those passionate about road trips. The trail is an 8-mile stretch of country road that features natural beauty, historical sites, old buildings, cultural landmarks, and lush scenery.
  • Car rentals in Mclean are accessible at the airports that serve the city. Travelers landing through Reagan Washington (DCA) Airport should check the car rental counters behind the terminal building. At Washington Dulles (IAD) Airport, car rental counters are in the Arrivals Levels 1 and 2. The other onsite rental car center airport is Baltimore (BWI) Airport. The car rental center is accessible at the Arrivals Level C, doors 5 and 6. McLean car rentals available at the airports are Hertz, Enterprise, Sixt, Turo, Dollar, Alamo, and Avis.
  • Driving in McLean is made easier by following some tips. While driving, watch out for construction sites because they may require temporary lane closures. Additionally, heed the speed limit when driving near intersections, streets, and highways. Be alert for traffic signs and keep an eye on the road ahead of you because of a tendency for pedestrians and cyclists to cross anytime. When approaching intersections, yield to oncoming traffic and stop to allow pedestrians to cross. It has the highest pedestrian fatalities due to McLean's sidewalk system which is rather large and inadequately maintained; hence if a pedestrian is strolling along the street, be ready to yield to them.
  • McLean faces heavy traffic due to the dense population, especially during peak hours. The city also grapples with traffic congestion since many residents of McLean are highly dependent on their automobiles. Traffic in the city is made worse by commuters from Fairfax and tourists visiting the area. Drivers must exercise patience when dealing with faulty stoplights and traffic jams. McLean has several roads that make driving troubling, including Winding Bridge Road, a two-way limited access road with narrow lanes, and Lucas Valley Road, which features two lanes and no shoulders along with no center divider.
  • Supplier choice hire cars in McLean are around 75% cheaper than other car types, on average

I really appreciate the manager at the desk ( I mean the black skin manager) he was really nice and professional. I’d recommend Budget to my friends/ family. However, It would be super helpful if you add additional sign arrow panels by the hotel or at the intersection.
