It is easy to drop off a rental car in downtown. For example, Aviis has 3 locations in central D.C., but note that these locations have much more restricted hours than airport locations and that purchasing gas in downtown DC isn't so easy (there are only a few places).
Thanks Alan.
A simple question: does anyone know whether it's normal for people to catch a cab with an infant without a baby seat? We won't have one but can have the baby in a carrier attached to my wife or my chest.
I know in some jurisdictions it's illegal but no-one cares, in others it's legal, and in some it's illegal but rigidly enforced. I guess, does anyone know whether we're likely to be able to find a cab that will take us?
thanks
