KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Waldorf
- Car rental in Waldorf is the most popular way for tourists to get around the city and the surrounding regions. Public transportation is also an option, but in this area, you’re more likely to be spending more time waiting for buses than travelling between A and B. In your rental car, you can alleviate the waiting times and travel around with more freedom, especially when reaching places such as Washington D.C. which is only around 50min by car. There’s also Annapolis, MD, which is the capital of the state and takes 1 hour to drive to. Alexandria, VA is another nice day trip, and only 35 minutes away.
- If you’re looking to organise car rental in Waldorf, arranging everything from Washington Reagan National Airport (DCA) is your best option, with an extensive range of vehicles from seven different major car rental companies. You can locate the car rental desks on first floor of Parking 1, from the terminal building you can grab a shuttle bus outside Terminals 1 & 2 (Curbside 2). If you have selected Budget or Avis as your provider, the offices are off site, and they both have dedicated shuttle buses at Curbside 3.

If you're travelling with kids, they need to be seated in a secure child seat, this is required by law. In Maryland, the legal blood alcohol content limit is 0.08%. It's best to avoid alcohol entirely if you plan to drive.

While on the school run, Berry Road and Acton Lane can get busy, as they both connect schools and residential areas.

Mar 2021
Pros:
Staff was nice but the car smelled like a dirty toilet. The brakes on the car were very bad. It made sense when the representative asked me if I planned on doing a lot of driving.Cons:
Tell me about the car in it’s state and not let me drive off in that condition. I had a minor with me.10,0 Wonderful

Mar 2020
Cons:
They called me the day of my rental and left me a message that they didnt have a car for me even though I had a reservation. Never made any effort to try and help me otherwise. I tried calling back numerous times and never got through. Ended up having to rent with a different rental agency who could accommodate me and at least acknowledge me.7,6 Good
Jan 2020
Cons:
I dropped the car off in Port Canaveral at 6pm on a Saturday. They closed at 4pm. There was not any clear instructions on what to do with hour keys etc....6,0 Okay
Dec 2019
Cons:
I have no complaints about the car or service, everything went fine. What I don't like is that I couldn't change my car reservation until I canceled the original. When I rebooked to shorten my rental days it actually cost a lot more than it would have if I had just kept the original reservation. All I tried to do was drop a few days off the total, pick up day was the same! I feel cheated.Enterprise Rent-A-Car

Car could have been cleaner and could have been the car I reserved. I reserved a full size car and was given a compact suv. I reserved a full size for a reason...I needed the space.9,6 Wonderful
Nov 2018
Pros:
This car rental folks called me a week before my trip to confirm that I was still travelling. Then they called again two days before I travelled. And lastly the day of travelling. When I went to pick up the vehicle, the customer representative realized that the trunk was not completely clean. So she picked up the vacuum cleaner and vacuumed it herself. Personally I think that's what good customer service is all about.Cons:
Nothing bad to talk about.8,8 Very Good
