Car Hire in Texas

San Antonio is a must visit for its culture alone – no other city in Texas reflects its Spanish and Mexican heritage better. Venture on a moving visit to the (original) Alamo, the iconic battleground that saw the end of Davy Crockett and Jim Bowie. There's no better place for a stroll or bite to eat than along the beautiful River Walk, and you could even take a barge tour. Take advantage of hiring a car in Texas and drive to the stunning Big Bend National Park, stopping at plenty of small country towns on the way. The park is a rolling oasis of red canyons, the Chisos mountains and deep river gorges – and if you book a vehicle with sat nav, you can be sure you won't get lost!

When driving around the state in your Alamo hire car, be sure to stop off at Austin, which is both a buzzing state capital and the live music capital of the world. Musical performances wait for you on every corner here no matter what genre you're into, so tuck into some classic Tex-Mex or hearty barbecue before enjoying some of the incredible acts on offer. To cool down from the strong Texan sun, drive out of the city in one of our excellent-value vehicles to an amusement or water park – SeaWorld and the state's second Six Flags location are both in easy access.

Houston is one of the world’s most notable hubs for space exploration, and families will love getting involved in the educational and interactive activities at the NASA Johnson Space Centre, which is only a 30-minute drive out of the city. It's home to the largest rodeo around, the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo – hop in your hire car and head down to see Texan culture at its finest.
