Check out the offers available with Avis, Budget and Enterprise. They rank among the city's most trusted providers.
Check if a collision damage waiver (CDW) is part of your Arlington car rental policy, whether you book with Avis or any other supplier. Some companies treat it as an optional extra instead of bundling it in.
Consider booking a one-way rental. You might be able to score a bargain if the provider needs to move its fleet around. Find the best available rates by clicking 'Return car to a different location.'
Search for a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy.' You'll pick up and drop off your car with a full tank, so you're only paying for what you use. No hidden refueling charges at drop-off either.
Want to explore more without stressing about the number of miles you clock up? Find rentals with 'Unlimited mileage' under the 'Policies' filter and drive as far as you like without the extra costs.

If you're going away with the kids, find out if you need to add a car seat to your Arlington car rental booking. Whether local laws require them or not, they're always the safest way for youngsters to ride.
You'll need to bring a few things when picking up your rental car: an official driver's license, extra photo ID, and a credit card with enough funds for the security deposit. Debit cards aren't widely accepted. Any additional requirements will be listed in your booking.
For first-time drivers in the United States, don't forget that traffic here keeps to the right side of the road.
Make sure you stay within the local speed limits. Usually that's around 40kph in built-up areas and 110kph or so on highways, unless signed otherwise.
The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in the United States is 0.08%. Because alcohol affects each person differently, it's best to skip drinks entirely so you remain legal to drive.
