Rent a Car – Relax and Take Your Time on Your Next Vacation
If you want to prove the adage about everything being bigger in Texas without going to the boondocks and forsaking modern conveniences, then your best choice will have to be the city of Houston. It is, after all, the largest city in the largest state of the contiguous Unites States, thus, you can expect large spaces! This means, of course, that getting around can be a drag, in more ways that one.
Large Options and Considerations
Fortunately, you have many options when it comes to city car rental, Houston playing host to hundreds of establishments offering this unique service to both its visitors and residents. Whatever your purpose for renting a car in Houston – dates, weddings, honeymoons, business and vacations, to name a few – you will definitely find a car to your liking.
You can rent anything from the luxurious Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster and Rolls Royce Phantom to Chevy Cavalier and Corvette to Ford Mustang and Lincoln Town Car. Your choice, of course, depends on many factors. First, you must look at your budget. Expectedly, luxury cars will cost more than standard models in many ways, which include higher basic fees, add-on charges and late penalties, not to mention that you also have to factor in the cost of premium gas and limited mileage. As such, it pays to read the fine print proposed by the car rental Houston-based company you are planning to patronize before putting pen to paper and credit card to scanner. Second, you must determine your transportation needs in terms of comfort level, planned activities and accompanying persons. However, adequate air-conditioning is a must as Houston can be really hot and humid in the summer.
Also, if you are planning to engage in a shopping and sightseeing spree in Houston, then adequate trunk space for your shopping bags and other traveling odds and ends is a must. And it does pay to have some sort of entertainment center in the car especially when you have children travelling with you. Indeed, you must have knowledge of what you need and what you want when it comes to car rental. Houston, after all, has many of these companies operating both online and offline that it pays to narrow down your choices early on.
Large Places to Visit
You will not have to worry about getting as much mileage on your rental car while you are in Houston and the surrounding areas, which is especially true on standard models with unlimited mileage on basic fees. (This may not be applicable to luxury cars so always check with the company staff) This is Texas we are talking about and traveling in, after all.
You must start with the 337 parks and 200 green spaces scattered across the city, all of which will require your own mode of transportation to conveniently and easily get there. To name a few, you can visit Hermann Park, Lake Houston Park, Discovery Green Sesquicentennial Park, Sam Houston Park, Houston Arboretum and Nature Center and the Space Center Houston. And did we mention the equally large shopping and entertainment malls like The Galleria and the Theater District?
With the right choice from the right company specializing in car rental, Houston can be enjoyed, large spaces and all.
