Question 1

What are the major attractions in Tyler?

Accepted Answer

If your trip to Tyler is all organized but your travel itinerary is looking a bit empty, let us give you a few hints and tips.

Plan a stop at Caldwell Zoo. It's one attraction you'll usually find on many travelers' must-do lists. Tyler Museum of Art and Kiepersol Estates Winery are also close by and worth a pit stop.

Question 2

What are the best road trip destinations near Tyler?

Accepted Answer

The greatest part about having your own car is that you can travel where you want, when you want. Make full use of your freedom by checking out all that there is to do in Kilgore. It's just 25 miles away. Van Cliburn Auditorium, Lonestar Speedway and East Texas Oil Museum alone make the drive out here worthwhile. Locals will also probably point you in the direction of Jacksonville, 25 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, make sure it's Mud Creek Off-Road Park. (But we're also huge fans of Love's Lookout Park and The Texas Basket Company.)

Question 3

What kind of rental car should I get for Tyler?

Accepted Answer

Having your own wheels in Tyler will give you the freedom to squeeze in as many activities as possible. Maybe you're eager to leave the city behind, hit the open road, and see where the wind takes you. If so, grab one of our mid-size or full-size SUVs and have a look at the sandy shores in the surrounding area. If you'd rather experience the bright city lights, take to the wheel of something small. Getting around heavy traffic will be a lot less stressful with a mini or compact car.

Should I get a luxury rental car in Tyler?

Accepted Answer

There's loads of choice when it comes to renting a car in Tyler. From SUVs with space to spare to zippy compacts that make parking a cinch, you'll find it all here. Choosing your perfect match depends on how much you want to spend and what you intend to do. There are some road trips that are just begging you to splurge on your dream ride, whereas other adventures don't need much more than enough space for your luggage and buddies. Which will it be this time?
