National car rental at Washington Ronald Reagan Airport: What you need to know
Transmission: Choose between 'Automatic' (takes the hassle out of changing gears) and 'Manual' (stick shift). Most providers include both, so use the 'Transmission' filter to narrow down the search.
Fuel policy: Go for a 'Fair fuel policy' to keep things simple. You pick up the car full and return it full, so you're only paying for the fuel you actually use.
Mileage limits: Rentals with 'Unlimited mileage' give you the freedom to explore without worrying about added charges. Search for this option under the 'Policies' filter and go as far as you like.
Age requirements: Usually, you have to be at least 21 years old to rent a vehicle in the United States. Being younger isn't always a deal-breaker — just be prepared for extra fees or rules. Check the companies' terms and conditions before booking.

Deposits and credit card: Providers typically place a pre-authorised hold on a credit card to secure the rental. Debit cards are rarely accepted at pickup, so make sure you have credit.
Insurance: Excess insurance isn't required, but it's a smart add-on if you'd rather play it safe. Policies differ from one provider to another, so check before booking.
Add ons: A navigation system, additional drivers and child seats can all be added while booking your National car rental. Sort these ahead of time for a smoother pickup.
