How can drivers navigate peak hour traffic in the Washington D.C. metro area when renting a car?

Utilize traffic apps to stay informed about congestion and alternative routes. Consider renting a car with good fuel efficiency for stop-and-go traffic.

How should guests prepare for driving in various weather conditions common to the Virginia area?

When preparing to drive in Virginia's varied weather conditions, flexibility is key. In summer, ensure your rental car has reliable air conditioning for those humid days. For winter driving, especially if venturing to higher elevations, consider a vehicle with all-wheel drive. Pack a small ice scraper and be prepared for potential snow.
