KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Westminster

  • Choosing car rentals in Westminster allows you to explore popular attractions and landmarks in the city, such as the Carroll County Farm Museum, McDaniel College, Westminster City Park, and the Carroll Arts Center. Opting for Westminster car rentals becomes especially beneficial when you want to venture slightly outside the city to discover scenic routes around Westminster. The convenience of a Westminster car rental empowers you to customize your itinerary, ensuring you make the most of your visit and have an enriching experience.
  • Car rental offices at Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) and Harrisburg International Airport (MDT) can be found easily by following the displayed signs. At BWI Airport, the car rental offices are usually located off-site from the main terminal, but the airport provides a shuttle service to and from the rental car facility and the terminal. At Harrisburg International Airport, car rental offices are located at the lower level of the terminal, near the baggage claim area. There are clear signs at the airport pointing you in the right direction.
  • Driving in Westminster, Maryland, offers a pleasant experience with a generally calm atmosphere that sets the tone for a relaxed journey. When behind the wheel, it's important to note that pedestrians enjoy the right of way at crosswalks, so exercising patience and yielding is a must. Remaining vigilant is key, especially when encountering cyclists sharing the road, and being prepared for the possibility of unexpected jaywalking incidents is particularly relevant near busy areas like Carroll Hospital Center. Soak in the serene surroundings, but stay attentive for a smooth and safe drive.
  • When using Westminster car rentals, be aware of rush hours, typically from 7:00 am to 9:00 am and 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm. Stay mindful that traffic congestion can peak on Route 140 (Baltimore Boulevard), Route 97 (Washington Road), and Route 27 (Manchester Road) during this time. Additionally, winter months (December–February) can pose challenges, with potential snow and ice making roads slippery and reducing traction. To navigate safely during winter in Westminster, it's crucial to adjust your driving habits by slowing down, increasing following distances, and being prepared for changing road conditions.
