KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Stafford

  • Car rentals in Stafford offer a convenient way of exploring different destinations in and around Stafford. Stafford is the home to Stafford Civil War Park - one of the US’ most beautiful parks where you can learn about the history of the Civil War. Renting a car for an adventure in Stafford comes with privacy, enough space for your travel party, comfort, and the freedom to let loose, build memories, and have fun. Achieving this with public transportation is much more difficult.
  • Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) and Washington Reagan National Airport (DCA) are the primary airports that handle flights to Stafford. When flying to Stafford through these airports, car rentals in Stafford ensure you can book your ride right from the airport. Hertz allows you to pick up your car from both airports. The car rental center at DCA is on the First Floor of Terminal Garage A, while IAD's is near Door 2, past the Baggage Claim area. Dollar, Avis, Budget, Enterprise, National, Silvercar, Alamo, Advantage, and Thrifty offer shuttle services from the airports to their off-airport locations.
  • Before taking any vehicle from Stafford car rentals to the roads, it is important to have these few tips. First, pedestrians in Stafford have the right of way. Therefore, you must yield and stop whenever pedestrians are on marked or unmarked crossings. Using hand-held communication devices while driving is prohibited in Stafford. As such, be sure to use a hands-free device when using your phone as a navigation-assistant device. Finally, Stafford is known for its cyclists, so avoid driving or parking in bike lanes.
  • While driving around Stafford is hassle-free, driving here gets a little difficult during the rush hour, just like in other major towns or cities. Stafford experiences two rush hour periods, the morning from around 7 am to 9 am and the evening from around 4 pm to 7 pm. However, only some of the roads get affected during these hours. Stafford is located right off Route 1 and I-95, so they tend to experience more traffic during these hours.
  • Medium rental cars in Stafford are around 57% cheaper than other car types, on average

Consider getting a minivan for a family trip or with a small group of up to four. A minivan will comfortably accommodate such a group while offering enough luggage space.

Keep an eye on the posted speeds; exceeding them by 20 mph amounts to reckless driving and attracts a hefty fine.

    The best places to park in Stafford are usually in commercial areas, around the town center, or near major landmarks. You will find lots of parking spaces for most types of vehicles in these locations.
