If you don’t find what you need at Washington Union Station with National, you might discover more car rental options in Washington D.C., which can occasionally be cheaper. However, keep in mind that the additional cost of transferring from Airport to Washington D.C. might result in higher overall expenses compared to picking up your rental car directly at the airport.

Research fuel prices in the area where you'll return the vehicle. Filling up at a local station may be cheaper than paying for fuel through the rental company, especially if they charge higher rates.

When renting a car, understand the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means you return the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means you return it with the same level of fuel. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.

If you have a specific vehicle in mind, opt for rentals that guarantee your chosen car type. This ensures that you receive the vehicle you expect, rather than being offered an alternative.

If you're traveling with pets, confirm the rental company's pet policy before booking. Some companies allow pets but may have specific fees or restrictions, so it’s best to clarify in advance.

Before leaving the rental location, inspect the car for any existing damage and ensure it’s documented. Take photos if necessary to avoid disputes when returning the vehicle.
