  • If you're going to Fort Washington, Maryland, you have three airport options: Dulles Intl (IAD), Baltimore/Washington (BWI), and Reagan-National (DCA).

You can find rental car shuttle buses at IAD at Curbs 2C and 2D after exiting the baggage claim area through Door 2 or Door 4. BWI has a Rental Car Facility located off-site from the terminal buildings, which you can reach using the free shuttle service that runs every 10 minutes.

Sean, Jan 2024

Pickup truck

Was stopped by the police. Because the tags were expired. The vehicle had less than 1/2 tank of fuel and no windshield wiper fluid

2.0 Poor

Bennett, Jul 2020

KAYAK

Pros:

Enterprise had great customer service

Cons:

The Nissan versa was a horrible car for a long roadtrip and not what I wanted. Handling was very poor on the highway as the whole car shakes. The cruise control did not work and there was greasy fingerprints on the inside of windshield. Very disappointed with the car and I reserved a midrange Mitsubishi and all they had was Nissan versas. I plan on upgrading to a better vehicle for the trip back
