What kind of rental car should I get for Austin?
Sure, you can explore Austin without renting a vehicle. But with loads to see and do here, having one would certainly make life easier. If you plan to get out of town and into Mother Nature, consider a set of wheels with a bit of power. A full-size or mid-size SUV will get you to the surrounding sandy shores in roomy comfort. Planning to spend the majority of your time close to the bright lights of the city? A smaller car like a mini or compact is your best bet. Maneuvering through narrow streets and squeezing into tight parking spaces will be easy with one of these.

Choosing your perfect match depends on how much you'd like to spend and what you intend to do. Some road trips are just begging you to splurge on your dream ride, whereas others don't need anything more than enough space for your luggage and buddies. Which car will you be sliding behind the wheel of this time?
