Country of residence
This information allows us to offer you more accurate rates.
In most countries, the minimum age required to hire a vehicle is 25.
For bookings with pick-up outside your country of residence, it is mandatory to present the original physical Driver’s License, valid and within the expiration date, issued in your country of origin.
Some rental companies and government authorities may require, in addition to the Driver’s License, the International Driving Permit, which is mandatory for: Austria, Bulgaria, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Romania, Switzerland, and Ukraine and highly recommended for any other country not listed above, especially where the alphabet used is different from the Roman one (for example: Czech Republic, Middle Eastern and Asian countries).
Obtaining and presenting the International Driving Permit is the sole responsibility of the driver. If the rental company agrees to rent the vehicle without presenting the International Driving Permit, restrictions or additional fees may apply. To ensure a smooth driving experience abroad, it is always recommended to carry a valid Driver’s License and the physical International Driving Permit.
Each driver must present a valid and original photo ID or passport.
The renter must present a personal credit card, valid in the country of pick-up with enough funds to put a hold for a security deposit. Third-party credit cards will not be accepted. The car rental company is solely responsible for approving the provided credit card. Online prepayment does not exempt the renter from providing a valid international credit card during vehicle pick-up. The rental company will place a hold in the amount of the security deposit and, when applicable, any additional local fees not covered in the prepaid voucher on the card provided at the rental location.
You must present a printout of the Booking Confirmation Voucher at the rental location. This document officially confirms all agreed upon services, payment conditions, rates, discounts, as well as vehicle availability within the group selected.
Car rental companies reserve the right to refuse service to underage or unlicensed drivers, those with poor credit history or individuals otherwise considered liabilities by the rental company.
Baltimore, Maryland: Come for the Crabs, Stay for the Kitsch
Baltimore's nickname is "Charm City," and it's an apt description of this revitalized East Coast port city. If you're in the mood for crab cakes, historical sights, and quirky culture, hop in your car rental, brave the local traffic, and travel to Baltimore.
Culture Buffs
Baltimore may be best known for its sports teams and its culinary staples, but it's also home to plenty of cultural hot spots. For great art, travel to the Baltimore Museum of Art. Located 15 minutes from the Inner Harbor by car, the BMA's collection ranges from Monet paintings to ancient Egyptian relics. Literature buffs may want to check out the Edgar Allen Poe House and Museum, a celebration of Baltimore's spookiest writer.
Root for the Home Team
Baltimore has two major sports teams: the Ravens and the Orioles. Baseball fans can catch a game at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, which is located a mere mile from the waterfront. Right next to Camden Yards is M&T Bank Stadium, home to the Ravens.
Hon Culture
Baltimore's kitsch-filled local culture has been immortalized in John Waters films, such as "Hairspray" and "Crybaby." It's associated with beehive hairdos, pink flamingos, and the word "hon," and travelers in search of local flavor should drive their car rentals straight to Hampden. This area of Baltimore—a 13-minute drive from the Inner Harbor—hosts the annual HonFest in the spring. It's also home to eclectic antique shops, classic Baltimore diners, and hip bookstores.
The Inner Harbor
No trip to Baltimore is complete until you've toured the Inner Harbor. Explore the Maryland Science Center, which features hands-on exhibits and IMAX presentations. Right next door is the National Aquarium, home to tropical fish, sharks, and dolphins. History buffs will enjoy the Fort McHenry National Monument, and families will love the Port Discovery Children's Museum.
