Important information about Austin car rentals

There are numerous reasons why you should consider car rentals in Austin. Rentals make your experience in the city easier and more convenient as you move around. A personal vehicle can enable you to explore the McKinney Falls State Park, which encompasses one of the most amazing waterfalls in Texas, and is located on the outskirts of the city. Families can also enjoy some outdoor time at the Zilker Metropolitan Park, which has multiple recreational facilities. One of the most iconic streets in Austin is Sixth Street, which runs from Congress Ave to I-35. It has many businesses and restaurants, making it quite busy especially during rush hours. Unfortunately, you will find that finding parking in Downtown Austin is not an easy task. However, you can find free parking in the evenings on weekdays and Sundays. Metered parking spaces are scattered throughout the city center and charge hourly. There are also several parking lots and garages available. You can find over 25 cheap car rentals in Austin with a variety of vehicles to choose from.

Using rental cars in Austin, you can also visit the Palmetto and Inks Lake State Parks, which are located on the outskirts of the city. These parks are an affordable and flexible means of exploring sites that are not easily accessible using public transport. Rush hour in Austin is mainly between early mornings when people are heading to work and late evenings, therefore as you consider renting cars from car rentals in Austin it is recommended that you move around before or after these hours to avoid heavy traffic. I-35 is usually among the first roads to get backed up during rush hours.

Austin is a hands-free city, which means that it is illegal to drive while operating any electronic handheld devices, apart from hands-free GPS monitors or Bluetooth systems. It is also mandatory that all drivers and passengers have their seatbelts on while the vehicle is moving, and children are required to be safely buckled in their car seats (which are available upon request at cheap car rentals in Austin). Drivers are also prohibited to drive on Austin roads if they have a blood alcohol content of above 0.08%. To be on the safe side, do not drink and drive while using rental cars in Austin and be sure to check with the Austin department of motor vehicles for recent driving law updates.

When it comes to car rentals in Austin, you can drive to another state with no problem. The same generally holds true for Canada. Most major car rental companies in Austin will allow you to drive into Mexico as long as you purchase Mexican auto insurance from them before leaving the country. In general, you cannot book a one-way rental to Mexico. You may also need a Temporary Vehicle Import Permit to take the car into Mexico, which you can obtain from the Mexican National Bank, Banjercito.
