Things to do and places to see in Maryland
Maryland may be one of the smaller states, but it’s jam-packed with charm, history, and plenty of activities to fill your itinerary. Whether you're in it for the seafood, the scenic drives, or a little history lesson, there’s no shortage of options. From coastal boardwalks to mountain getaways, Maryland truly lives up to its nickname as "America in Miniature." And yes, you’ll want your rental car — because public transport doesn’t quite reach the hidden gems of the Old Line State.
Rent the perfect car
National Aquarium in Baltimore
Dive into one of the most immersive aquatic experiences in the country. The National Aquarium in Baltimore isn’t just a bunch of fish tanks; it’s a journey through tropical rainforests, coral reefs, and even the Australian Outback — no passport required. Located in Baltimore’s iconic Inner Harbor, it’s the perfect spot for families, marine-life enthusiasts, and anyone wanting to feel a little Finding Nemo energy. Park nearby and enjoy the harbor views while you’re at it.
Antietam National Battlefield
Step back in time at Antietam, the site of the bloodiest single-day battle in American history. Whether you’re a Civil War buff or just someone who appreciates rolling hills with a side of history, this spot is worth a stop. Driving around the battlefield offers a unique perspective, and the self-guided auto tour is a great excuse to linger in your rental car while soaking up all the facts. Don’t forget to stretch your legs and walk the infamous Burnside Bridge.
Ocean City Boardwalk
Three miles of pure seaside bliss await you at the Ocean City Boardwalk. This is where classic Americana comes to life with funnel cakes, arcades, and saltwater taffy. Rent a bike — or better yet, a car on Turo — to cruise down Coastal Highway after indulging in some Thrasher’s French Fries. It's kitschy, it’s fun, and it’s the perfect excuse to put your toes in the sand.

Top tips for renting a car in Maryland
Renting a car in Maryland is as smooth as a crab cake dinner — provided you’ve got the right tips in hand. Whether you're rolling through the Baltimore streets, exploring the Chesapeake Bay’s hidden gems, or heading for the hills of western Maryland, here’s what you need to know.
What documents and paperwork do you need to rent a car in Maryland?
To rent a car on Turo, you must create a Turo account, be 18 years old or older with a valid driver’s license, and get approved to drive on Turo. When you’re booking your first trip, you’ll go through an approval process by entering your driver’s license information by providing a photo of it and some other information. In most cases, you’ll get approved immediately, and you’ll be set for future road trips, business trips, and family vacations!
What are the road rules and driving conditions in Maryland?
Maryland drivers are a mix of cautious and ambitious, so be ready for anything! The speed limit on highways is generally 65-70 mph, but it drops to 25 mph in residential areas.
Stay alert for roundabouts and one-way streets, especially in charming but labyrinthine towns like Annapolis. Maryland law also requires drivers to move over or slow down when approaching emergency vehicles stopped on the roadside.
Expect heavy traffic during morning and evening rush hours, especially on major highways like I-95, I-695 (Baltimore Beltway), and I-270. And don’t forget: texting while driving is illegal, so keep those GPS directions hands-free!
Are there toll roads in Maryland?
Yes, the Free State does charge for a few roads and bridges, most notably the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel. Keep an eye out for the ones on the Fort McHenry Tunnel and the John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway (I-95 north of Baltimore).
Do I need to rent a car in Maryland?
Unless you’re planning to stick to public transportation in Baltimore or Annapolis, a car is your ticket to exploring Maryland’s diverse attractions. From the rugged beauty of Deep Creek Lake to the iconic Ocean City Boardwalk, having a car saves time and gives you the flexibility to make spontaneous detours. It’s also a great way to save money compared to rideshare apps for longer trips, with many car rental deals available.
What occasions can I rent a car for in Maryland?
Need to make a splash at a wedding in Baltimore? Make a statement with a sporty Ford Mustang Convertible or a luxurious Mercedes-Benz S-Class. How about a practical yet stylish car for a family reunion by the bay? Choose a spacious minivan like the Chrysler Pacifica or Honda Odyssey for comfort and ample luggage space.
Maryland car rentals are ideal for vacations, long-term stays, or one-off events like a drive-through light show at Christmas. Whatever the occasion, there’s a rental car to match on Turo.
What rental car types can I find in Maryland?
Options abound, whether you’re after a luxury BMW 5 Series, Audi A6, or Mercedes-Benz E-Class for a bit of flair, or a family-friendly SUV like a Ford Explorer, Jeep Grand Cherokee, or Toyota Highlander for space and comfort.
If you’re eco-conscious, consider an electric car like the Tesla Model 3, Nissan Leaf, or Chevrolet Bolt EV. For easy city driving, go for a zippy Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, or Volkswagen Jetta. With Turo, you can handpick the vehicle that best suits your adventure.
How much does it cost to rent a car in Maryland?
The cost of car rental in Maryland can vary depending on car type, booking length, extras, and delivery. For cheap car rental in Maryland, look out for discounts on longer-duration bookings and early bookings.
How old do you need to be to rent a car in Maryland?
Most major rental companies still default to 21 or charge punitive fees for younger drivers. On Turo, the minimum age is 18. Turo simplifies the process with a clear 18+ policy, allowing you to browse and book specific cars rather than fighting with complex counter policies.
