That said, Arlington County is widely known for its sandy shores, rolling hills, and coastal plains. Many eager adventurers escape the city to take in these glorious vistas. If that sounds like something you want to do, go for an SUV or a full-size vehicle. Even if you don’t intend to go off-road, you’ll be grateful for all the extra legroom.

You’ll be glad to hear that there’s a great range of both luxury and economy rental vehicles in Arlington County. What you opt for is largely dependent on how much you’re willing to spend and what you’re planning to do. Specialty and prestige vehicles offer unparalleled mod cons and comfort. If you’re splashing out, why not pick an elite SUV, or perhaps a flashy medium-sized vehicle? On the other hand, if you just need a set of wheels to whiz around town in at the cheapest price possible, you’re better off going with a no-frills compact vehicle (or something else that’s unlikely to break the bank).

You’ll be cruising along the right-hand side of the road in Arlington County. Even though it may seem similar to home, it’s always wise to drive a bit more cautiously in places you’ve never been.

Generally, one of two things will happen. Your chosen rental car company may charge the amount stated on the fine to your credit card. This is the most common approach. On the other hand, it may give your contact details to the relevant local agency so the fine is issued to you directly.
