Top tips for renting a car in Annapolis


Annapolis is known as one of the most beautiful and historical cities in the area, so brushing up on Maryland road rules will ensure you can properly take in the magic of this area. Whether you're making the trip from Virginia or commuting from Washington for work, here are some handy car rental tips to make sure you're following speed limits and being the most responsible driver possible.


What are the road rules and driving conditions in Annapolis?


Although Annapolis is a relaxed waterfront city, it's common for people to commute to, through, and from this area. Traffic can be slow in the mornings and afternoons, especially from Old Solomons Island Road to Arnold Road, and the traffic on the I-97 can take some time to move. Take some time to plan your route and always leave extra time to get to your destination and prepare for potential delays.

The speed limit in residential areas of Annapolis is 25mph, and rural freeways and interstates have a speed limit of 65mph. Always adhere to local road rules, like wearing a seatbelt and operating your phone on hands-free mode, to make your drive safe and stress-free. In Maryland, when turning, slowing, or stopping, it's required to use an appropriate signal if other drivers could be affected by your movements.

Maryland gets very cold in winter, which means roads can freeze over and require extra caution before sunrise and after sunset. Always check driving conditions before heading out, and take care when driving in winter. It's smart to look for vehicle listings on Turo with snow tyres, snow chains and ice scrapers handy and familiarize yourself with how to use this gear.


What is parking like in Annapolis?


Most of the on-street parking in Annapolis is limited to two hours or less, and you can pay for this using the ParkMobile app. If you want to explore for a longer period, parking garages like the Gotts Court Parking Garage are located right next to the Visitors Center, which makes it a convenient place to leave your vehicle. Finding a park to experience City Dock is also seamless and convenient, as the Hillman Parking Garage is a short walk from the waterfront, and the Calvert Street Parking Garage is right around the corner.


Are there toll roads in Annapolis?


While there are no toll roads in Annapolis, there are some in the surrounding areas. If you're crossing the Chesapeake Bay Bridge or traveling to Baltimore or Washington, you will encounter toll roads on your route. Plan your journey and check toll roads and fees if you're exploring areas around Annapolis.


Are there gas stations and EV chargers in Annapolis?


There are lots of options for you to fuel up if you're heading out of Downtown Annapolis, like the BP and OCEANIC gas stations on West Street. If you're cruising around the water, Shell has you covered with a station conveniently located on 6th Street.

There are lots of EV charging stations in Annapolis if you've chosen to rent an electric vehicle from Turo. West Street has an ample number of choices for charging up your vehicle, such as Shell, Electric Circuit Charging Station, and 2 Blink Charging Stations. If you're cruising around the beautiful Annapolis waterfront, there are a couple of Tesla Charging Points to keep your electric vehicle going and ensure you never run out of charge.


Do I need to rent a car in Annapolis?


Even though Downtown Annapolis is walkable, it's highly recommended to rent a vehicle to experience what the City of Sails has to offer. Whether you choose a stylish convertible or a minivan to fit the whole family, a rental car is the smartest option and offers so many benefits. Turo makes it seamless to choose a vehicle that matches your adventure, with everything from SUVs with lots of storage to zippy sedans available to rent for any length of time.

We encourage you to request to add additional drivers before your trip starts, though guests can request to add a driver while a trip is in progress.

To speed up the process, have your additional driver create a Turo account and get approved to drive before you request to add them. All drivers must have a valid driver’s license and meet the age requirements for the car you’ve booked. You can request to add drivers via the “Trips” tab in the Turo app without additional driver charges or extra costs.

* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. In the US, liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply.
