Accepted Answer

If you're hoping to discover the wider region, stop by Sweetwater. Located 40 miles away, it has no shortage of hotels and attractions. Cisco is one more place to look out for. Stretch out your legs, get a bite to eat and perhaps even spend the night! You'll find it about 45 miles away.

Question 3

What kind of rental car should I get for Abilene?

Accepted Answer

Abilene is major. You could hang out for a week in this place and not run out of things to do. If you'd like to soak up as much as possible in this metropolis, a rental car is a must. Bear in mind that city driving often comes with tight streets and even tighter parking spaces. Don't stress though, because a small car like a compact can make this much easier to manage. If you're eager to head straight out of the city and take a look at the sandy shores that Abilene is known for, you'll want a vehicle with more power. A mid-size or full-size SUV will make that longer drive comfortable.

Accepted Answer

For some of us, owning a high-end vehicle is little more than a lofty dream. But renting your dream ride is well within your grasp! Picture yourself cruising around town in a classy sports car, even if it's only for a little while. Or perhaps you're just after a reliable set of wheels to bring you from point A to point B. Extravagant or economical? Whatever you decide, there's a rental car to suit your style in Abilene.
