Question 1

What are the major attractions in Roanoke?

Accepted Answer

If your trip to Roanoke is all organized but your travel itinerary is a bit on the empty side, we can give you a helping hand.

Roanoke Community Fields is one sight that draws plenty of travelers like yourself. If you're yet to fill up your travel schedule, be sure to squeeze in Awbrey Public Library as well.

Question 2

What are the best road trip destinations near Roanoke?

Accepted Answer

With some terrific road trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn't be half as easy to soak up everything that LaGrange, 25 miles away, has to offer. Biblical History Center, LaGrange Art Museum and Bellevue Mansion alone make the drive out here worthwhile. Locals will also likely point you toward Columbus, 55 miles away. If you can only see one attraction here, make sure it's National Infantry Museum and Soldier Center. (But we'd also highly recommend Peachtree Mall and Coca-Cola Space Science Center.)

Question 3

What kind of rental car should I get for Roanoke?

Accepted Answer

With your own ride, Roanoke is yours to discover. People visit this interesting city for loads of reasons, and here at CarRentals.com we have a different car for each of them. The main priority for big families is space. Depending on the size of the family, that could mean anything from a full-size vehicle to an SUV. Travelers watching their budget usually opt for the fuel-efficiency and affordability of our smaller rentals, such as a mini or compact car.

Question 4

Should I get a luxury rental car in Roanoke?

Which car will you be sliding behind the wheel of this time?
