Question 1

What are the major attractions in Lubbock?

Accepted Answer

If your trip to Lubbock is all sorted out but your itinerary is a bit on the empty side, let us give you a few hints and tips.

Take in the best of what this place has to offer by adding Texas Tech University and National Ranching Heritage Center to your itinerary. If you have some spare time, have a look at Museum of Texas Tech University and Buddy Holly Center too.

Close to the city center, Blue Light Live is one spot you might like to consider putting on your to-do list. Cactus Theater and Jones AT&T Stadium are also a stone's throw away and worth a detour.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

If you're after day trips around Lubbock, you certainly won't be let down! Brownfield, just 40 miles away, has some fantastic sights that'll keep you on the go. Drop by Kiddie Park and Brownfield Family Aquatic Center to start learning the culture of the region. Then wrap up your journey by visiting Terry County Heritage Museum.

Question 3

What kind of rental car should I get for Lubbock?

Accepted Answer

Sure, you could vacation in Lubbock without a rental car. But with loads to see here, having one would definitely make your trip more convenient and fun. If you plan to get out of town and into nature, choose a car rental with some power. A full-size or mid-size SUV will get you to the area's sandy shores in roomy comfort. Prefer to spend most of your escape in the city center? A small, economical car is a wise choice. Driving through narrow streets and squeezing into tight parking lots will be a snap in one of these.

Question 4

Should I get a luxury rental car in Lubbock?

Accepted Answer

You'll be pleased to hear that there's a broad range of both luxury and economy vehicles to rent in Lubbock. What you opt for will depend on how much you're willing to spend as well as what you plan to do. Specialty vehicles offer unparalleled comfort and class. If you want to treat yourself, why not pick a fully kitted-out SUV, or perhaps a flashy mid-sized sedan? Alternatively, if you just need a car to whiz around town in at the cheapest price possible, you're better off choosing a no-frills compact vehicle (or something else that won't burn a hole in your pocket).
