Customers who reside in the United States or Canada must have a valid government-issued license with a photograph. The same requirement is needed for other nationals entering the United States. It is advisable to check your license complies with local licensing laws in this case, and if your license appears in another language apart from English, it is advisable to apply for an International Driver’s Permit for translation purposes. Additional documentation may be required also for foreign nationals, such as a valid photo ID or passport and a major credit or debit card to complete your booking.

A free shuttle bus service is available for each car hire company, which will transport you conveniently between the car rental facility and the terminal. Take the exit from the Terminals baggage claim area, which takes you down the ramp to Door 2 and 4. From here, the shuttle buses pick up at curbs 2C or 2D. It is worth noting that some companies use shared buses, so make sure to check your brand before embarking.

Pros:
Employee at the exit was excellent. He helped me remove the lights on the dash, adjust my seat, & set my bluetooth.Cons:
Where to start? I picked up the car late in the rain and there was so much water around the vehicle that I couldn't check it out for dents. Emergency road service that I needed the next day was non-existent, even after an hour on hold. This crucial problem with key was never resolved. In a separate issue, tire pressure was low after a few days.One location in Washington, D.C. Dulles Intl Airport

Cons:
The service is so slow that they only have one person working at a counter when there are three rental agencies. The line was very long, and they packed all of us in together, so they didn't care about social distancing or anything. It took forever to give us a car which Ford Focus and Chevy spark are not similar2,0 Poor

Cons:
Had to reschedule my flight but Thrifty wouldn't let me reschedule the car rental. I knew it was non-refundable but I didn't want a refund, I just wanted to push it back a few weeks. Total waste of $150, I'll never use Thrifty again.One location in Washington, D.C. Dulles Intl Airport

The vehicle REEKED of cigarette smoke. It also made some sort of odd sound when accelerating or slowing down. Finally, when picking up, I waited five minutes in line, at 10pm, just for a counter person to arrive.10,0 Wonderful

Pros:
The car was clean and the pick up and drop off process easyCons:
I don’t understand why Enterprise won’t let you use a debit card unless you have a booked flight. How does it make sense that a credit card is better than a debit card? I did not have a credit card on me and had to book a flight on the spot just to be able to get my rentalOne location in Washington, D.C. Dulles Intl Airport
