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.

- 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.

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.

The associate was professional and courteous. He went over the van thoroughly.Cons:
The van was clean and available upon arrival. The associate that checked car in was quick, and professional. Although there was a customer waiting to be checked in, he answered questions I had regarding future rentals and never appeared rushed.Avis

We never got the rental. We were called 15 minutes before the original pick up time and told that the rental would be delayed an hour. When we arrived at the new pick up time, still no rental. We were told that the rental was in DC and would take another hour. We were very disappointed.6,0 Okay
