What age do you have to be to rent a car in Kensington?

Typically, to rent a car in Kensington you must be at least 21—the same as it is across the rest of the USA. If you are under 25, you might also need to pay a surcharge. Be sure to review the supplier's terms to find what the total is before you book your rental.

Will I need insurance to get a car rental in Kensington?

Insurance is mandatory, no matter where you rent a car. With that said, you could already be covered by your existing car or credit card policies. Keep in mind, these policies may not cover you 100%, and you'll need to add it on to your booking. Check ahead of time and, if it's needed, you can just include it at the CarRentals.com checkout.

Are there different fuel policies?

Most suppliers give you a choice of fuel policies. Below is a list of the most common ones.

What fuel policy should I get?

We usually recommend that customers opt for the full-to-full policy. This policy is the most straightforward, and you simply top off the tank before you bring it back.

Should I get unlimited miles when I rent a car in Kensington?

If you plan to check out all that Kensington and maybe even the rest of Maryland offers, you are going to need unlimited miles. You can drive as far as you'd like without worrying about additional fees. Review the fine print to be certain they are truly "unlimited."

Before you drive off

Make sure you check out a few things prior to leaving the car rental lot. You should take time to:

• Check out the car and be certain there is no damage or scrapes. Be sure to make note of it on the paperwork, or you may get charged for it
• Check the trunk to determine if the spare is inflated and both the lug wrench and jack are there
• Get familiar with the controls of your car. Adjust the mirrors and seats, and note how to turn on the lights and windshield wipers
• Figure out how to work the radio or entertainment features. It's best to limit any unneeded distractions when you are driving around a new city
