Top tips for renting a car in Rockville


Whether you're taking I-95 to Baltimore or driving along Redland Road to get in a round at the Needwood Golf Course, your rental car gives you complete control over the roads you travel down and the routes you take. Read the following rental car tips to prepare for your trip.


What are the road rules and driving conditions in Rockville?


Because of its proximity to Baltimore and Washington, D.C., driving in Rockville requires patience and knowledge of the rules of the road. If you drive on Interstate 270 during the evening or on the weekend, you'll likely encounter traffic congestion. Most drivers in the area take I-270 to Washington, D.C., which is why it's often busy. Roads like East Jefferson Street and Hungerford Drive aren't as difficult to navigate.


In June 2024, the speed limit on all Rockville streets was reduced to 35 miles per hour (mph) or less. For example, the speed limit on Veirs Mill Road dropped from 40 to 35 mph. When you drive outside Rockville, the speed limit will be roughly 55 mph on state highways and 70 mph on interstate highways.


Rockville typically gets more than a dozen inches of snow and ice every year. While it doesn't snow often, inclement weather regularly occurs during the winter. In this scenario, the road conditions can be hazardous. If you're traveling to the area during the winter, consider opting for a vehicle with 4WD or AWD, such as the Hyundai Palisade or Toyota Tundra.


What is parking like in Rockville?


Ample parking spaces are available in Rockville. However, many of them are metered. The amount you owe if you park in one of the nearly 500 metered spaces depends on the area. For example, all City Hall and Town Center meters charge $1 per hour. Rates can range from $0.25-$1 per hour. Keep in mind that parking is free in all metered spaces on Sundays and holidays.


Are there toll roads in Rockville?


Maryland consists of nine tolling stations, which means there's a good chance you'll pay some tolls when driving around the Rockville area. These stations are located along different sections of I-95, I-695, I-895, and Highway 40. Several bridges have tolls as well. The toll closest to Rockville is the Intercounty Connector, which is an all-electronic toll road that you can navigate with E-ZPass.


Are there gas stations and EV chargers in Rockville?


Rockville contains many EV chargers and gas stations, allowing you to fill up or recharge your car's battery no matter where you are. The most common gas station brands in the area are Marathon, Shell, and Exxon. If you have an electric car that's running low on battery, there are 326 public stations in the area, over 80 of which are free. Blink, ChargePoint, and EVgo are the main charging networks in Rockville.


Do I need to rent a car in Rockville?


Rockville is a highly suburban town that provides a walkable downtown district but doesn't have the level of public transportation that's available in Washington, D.C. Having access to a car during your trip significantly reduces your limitations. You won't need to wait for public transportation or limit the scope of your vacation. You can drive to places like Baltimore or Alexandria in an hour or less. With a car, you'll be able to reach any location in Rockville within minutes.
