  • Washington, D.C.: Explore Culture and History in the Nation's Capital

    When you travel to Washington, D.C, using a rental car gives you the freedom to tour the nation's capital at your own pace. With your car rental in place, you can navigate the city's traffic and explore monuments and museums.

    Explore U.S. History

    No trip to D.C. is complete without visits to the city's attractions. The Lincoln Memorial, built in celebration of the country's 16th president, is located on the western side of the National Mall. After you've toured this famous monument, check out some of the Mall's other attractions, like the Washington Monument and the United States Capitol.

    The distance between the Lincoln Memorial and the Capitol steps measures nearly 2 miles. Thanks to your rental car, you won't have to make this trek on foot.

    Check Out the Museums

    Many of the city's best museums are located on the National Mall, including the National Museum of American History, the Smithsonian, and the National Gallery of Art. If you drive about 1 mile north, a trip that should take about 10 minutes, you'll arrive at the International Spy Museum. This family-friendly museum has exhibits on everything from spy gadgets to essential spy skills.

    Enjoy the Great Outdoors

    Once you've hit your culture quota for the day, venture into D.C. traffic and visit the city's outdoor attractions. The National Zoo is sprawled over 163 acres, and it is home to animals ranging from pandas to Asian elephants.

    Located about 30 minutes from the zoo is the National Arboretum, a scenic locale with one of the country's largest collections of bonsai trees. For more beautiful scenery, hop in your car rental and travel to Hillwood Mansion. Just 4 miles from the heart of Washington, D.C., this mansion is surrounded by 13 acres of well-maintained gardens.
