Business trip into Bwi for the first time next month. Debating on whether to rent a car or Uber everywhere. Won’t be downtown, so don’t have ease of walking to restaurants or the likes. Like having a car for freedom to run out and do stuff if I want, but don’t want to fight or worry about difficult drop off for outbound flight if running late.

How easy is their setup?

MSY pain in the arse?
Love Field bearable?
BNA easy as shite?

I've flown and out of BWI once and I don't recall it being too much of a pain. It was short bus ride and pretty easy access to the interstate.

But I was headed to western Maryland, not downtown or even into Baltimore.

I’m going semi between BWI and DC, so imagine same exit out of the facility.

I didn't have a great experience at BWI but this was several years ago at this point. It took about 30 minutes to make it from the terminal to the facility due to the amount of people getting on and traffic. On the way back I was running late and luckily caught a bus right away so 10 min total. You should be fine, would definitely recommend a car for MD suburbs

I've rented a few times at BWI. Never had any issues.

Guessing company covers rental. Get a rental. Our first house was in Jessup. Busy area south of there and if you have a car gives you the chance to explore.
I have traveled a ton and have found the Uber idea is good if you know exactly where you want to go and eat.
For a first time being somewhere a car gives you a chance to get a lay of the land.

Did it once, and the only issue I had was apparently I picked the most popular option as I was 5 cars deep in the line driving into the rental drop off garage and all 5 of us went to the exact same company for drop off I believe we did Budget for that trip
