Driving Tips for Baltimore
Drive your SIXT rental car in Baltimore and experience the city on your own terms with these helpful Baltimore driving tips:
- Rush hour: Whether you are flying into BWI to visit Baltimore or Washington DC, keep in mind that both cities experience morning rush hour. In Baltimore, 695 near Woodlawn between Security Boulevard and Interstate 70 is particularly congested.
- Speed limits: The speed limits in Baltimore are 30 mph in business districts and on undivided highways in residential districts; 35 mph on residential divided highways; 50 or 55 mph on other highways; and 70 mph on interstates.
- Share the road: Be on the lookout for both pedestrians and bicyclists on the streets in Baltimore.
- One-way streets: In your SIXT rental car in Baltimore, you’ll encounter many one-way streets, such as northbound Calvert, Charles, and Howard, southbound St. Paul and Cathedral, eastbound Lombard, and west-bound Pratt.
Best places to visit in Baltimore
When you rent a car in Baltimore from SIXT, your journey contributes to your adventure as you drive through stunning scenery:

- North Point State Park: Drive northeast around the city to the forests and marshes of the vast recreational and nature area at the tip of the peninsula.

Good to know when renting in Baltimore
You will need to be 21 or older for a SIXT rental in Baltimore. Some specialty and larger vehicles have a minimum rental age of 25, and an underage driver fee applies to those under 25.
All drivers will need a valid driver’s license. International renters will also need their passport and an international driving permit if the license uses a non-Roman alphabet like Cyrillic.
If your plans in Baltimore aren’t set, don’t worry. Book using our Pay on Arrival option and cancel your reservation free of charge.
Yes. SIXT places a temporary hold on your credit card at pickup for the amount of the deposit. For payments with debit cards, please refer to our rental information for more details about deposits. The amount depends on the location and vehicle. Please check for more details on payment information in this article.
In the U.S., generally a minimum of $200 will be charged to the payment method for security purposes. The deposit for high-value vehicles may be higher. Non-airport locations in Texas, Colorado, Louisiana, Minnesota, and Illinois have higher minimum authorization amounts. Additional details on the deposit can be found in this article.
Reservations are by vehicle category (“or similar”), not by an exact model. When a "guaranteed model" option is shown for your dates and location, selecting it reserves that specific model. Otherwise, you’ll receive a comparable car in the same group with similar size and performance subject to availability.
The exact mileage policy for your booking is shown during the reservation process, so you’ll know what’s included before pickup.
Vehicles rented at most SIXT locations in the contiguous United States may be driven throughout the contiguous states. Travel into Canada must be in accordance with our geographical restrictions, which can be found in our rental information. Travel to Mexico is not allowed. If you drive outside authorized areas, a fee of $0.50 per mile will apply.
All renters and authorized drivers must present a valid, unexpired, original driver’s license at the time of rental. Renters with a non-U.S. driver's license may also need to provide a valid passport or other government-issued ID. Licenses in non-Roman alphabets (e.g., Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Cyrillic) must be accompanied by an international driver’s license. If the license is from a country not in the international driver’s license treaty, an official translation is required. See our rental information for full driver’s license and age requirements.
