KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Dumfries

  • Dumfries is a quaint town located 26 miles south of Washington, D.C. Although there is public transportation available in the area, renting cheap car rentals in Dumfries can provide several benefits for visitors. It's one of the best ways to get around, especially if you want to see the surrounding areas. Prince William Forest Park is located just a few miles south of Dumfries, and Dumfries car rentals could provide you quick access to this popular hiking and camping destination. You can also visit the historic Manassas Battlefield Park, which is easier to explore with a rental car.
  • D.C.'s Dulles International Airport (IAD) is located approximately 38 miles from Dumfries. To get Dumfries car rentals at IAD, you'll find the rental-car companies at Dulles in a separate, off-site facility called the Rental Car Center (RCC). Visitors can take a free shuttle bus from the airport terminal to the RCC. The bus runs every 10 minutes, 24 hours a day, and takes approximately 10-15 minutes to reach the RCC. Washington, D.C. Reagan National Airport (DCA) is located approximately 32 miles from Dumfries. The rental-car offices at DCA are located on the first floor of Parking Garages A and B, which are connected to the airport terminal by covered pedestrian walkways. Customers can take an elevator or escalator down to the rental-car counters from the garage.
  • Dumfries is a small town located in Prince William County, Virginia, with a population of around 5,000. The main road running through Dumfries is Highway 1, a major thoroughfare in the area. In addition to cars and SUVs, you can expect to see 18-wheeler trucks and delivery vehicles on the roads when driving car rentals in Dumfries. Sharing the road with these larger vehicles calls for extra caution and patience. Bicycles are not uncommon in Dumfries, especially around the Quantico Marine Corps base, so drivers should always be vigilant for cyclists in the area.
  • There are certain busy times of the day for driving car rentals in Dumfries, particularly during rush hour on weekdays from 6:30 am to 9 am and from 3:30 pm to 6 pm. The most affected roads during these times are I-95, Highway 1, Prince William Parkway, and Dumfries Road. Additionally, some seasons can also make it difficult to drive in Dumfries, VA. During the winter months, the city may experience significant snowfall, which can make driving on untreated surfaces dangerous. The roads might also become icy and slippery, which can lead to accidents. In the summer, there can be heavy rain, sometimes leading to flooding and other hazardous driving conditions.

    Dumfries is a small town with relatively flat terrain and well-maintained roads. Therefore, almost any type of car, from compact cars to SUVs, should be fine for driving around the area. However, since Virginia tends to have a lot of humidity and rain, we recommend a car that's equipped with good traction control, stability control, and reliable brakes. Thus, an SUV or crossover would be an excellent choice for driving around Dumfries, as these cars offer better traction, stability, and maneuverability for a variety of terrains and road conditions.

  • What’s the speed limit in Dumfries?

    In Dumfries, the speed limit varies depending on the type of road and the area. In residential areas, the speed limit is typically 25 mph, while on most other city roads, the limit is 35 mph. On major highways such as Interstate 95 and Highway 1, the speed limit is generally 55 mph or higher. In school zones, the speed limit is reduced to 25 mph during school hours.

  • Where are the best places to park in Dumfries?

    Most of the major establishments in the downtown area of Dumfries, including restaurants, shops, and offices, have their own parking lots or spaces.

Paid parking is not a common practice, and most parking lots and on-street parking options are generally free.

Cons:

I had plans to take a group of ten people to celebrate a birthday. When I went to get my vehicle they said they’d called the day before to confirm and left a message. Because I didn’t answer the phone they gave my vehicle to someone else. They should just take a deposit from people. Then they would still get their money. I checked my messages and missed calls and had not received either. Very poor business practice.

Cons:

When I explained the problems, I was asked if I told Hertz at Bradley airport that the car was dirty (trunk area where luggage would go covered in some sticky stuff) to which I replied that I learned it was dirty after starting my trip. I did not check trunk area at pickup. Hertz could have offererd some discount to make up for the inconvenience.

Pros:

I had a 1:00pm reservation at the Brafferton location so I called ahead to confirm. When I got there, Harris took care of my car rental. He's very friendly and knowledgeable as well as friendly. I highly recommend. He made the process very easy to deal with and I was out of there with a great and clean car in about 15 minutes. Thanks Harris! I will be definitely coming back to this location.

Cons:

I'd like to say nothing because from making the reservation online to picking up the car in Stafford to returning the car at the BWI airport, everything worked out great! But it's too bad that after living for 4 years in the North Stafford area, I only just found out there was a location near me days ago.
