About Renting a Car at Falls Church Center
Falls Church center is located right in the Northern Virginia corridor, just 9 miles from Washington D.C. and with direct access to I-66. With 3 agencies in the downtown area, it's a practical alternative to the more expensive airport agencies at Dulles and Reagan National. From Falls Church center, it takes about 20 minutes to drive to the Pentagon and Arlington Cemetery, and Washington D.C.'s downtown is reachable in 25-30 minutes via I-66 or Route 7.
Seven Corners intersection is a local hub with gas stations and dining options. Avoid driving into D.C. during rush hour (7-9 AM and 4-7 PM) - traffic on I-66 can come to a standstill for 45+ minutes. Park in Falls Church and take the Metro Orange Line into the city instead.
