Tips for renting a car in Dallas

Browse helpful tips for renting a car in Dallas including age restrictions, car type suggestions and more. Tips were last updated on Dezember 23, 2024.
  • When driving a rented car in Dallas with a child aged 4-8, keep in mind that every USA driver is required to utilize safety child seats. So make sure to ask for a baby seat whenever you rent a car in Dallas from your preferred rental provider.
  • To get about most of the Dallas-area cities, you can hire a vehicle of your choice. The best option might be to navigate the congested streets with a compact car or a premium sedan. For trips with your loved ones to surrounding cities, like Highland Park, University Park, or Irving, which are only a short drive away, a larger vehicle, like an SUV or double-cab pickup, provides ample room for storage as well as seats.
  • Dallas mandates an age limit of 20 to rent an automobile. Renters who are below the age of 25 must pay an extra underage fee. The large bulk of Dallas rental agencies will let you drive their cars without charging you an extra bill if you're under 20 and need a rental car for a real military or even governmental duty.
  • Dallas features a well-developed network of toll roads that play a crucial role in enhancing transportation and easing traffic congestion in the region. Functioning as a loop encircling the northern and eastern suburbs of Dallas, the President George Bush Turnpike links seamlessly with major highways such as I-35E, I-30, and US-75, contributing to smoother and more efficient travel. Covering the distance from the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport area to McKinney, the Sam Rayburn Tollway offers a convenient and well-connected route, facilitating travel across various cities and suburbs.
  • Opting for an electric vehicle rental in Dallas offers a fantastic choice. EVs boast superior energy efficiency in comparison to traditional gasoline-powered vehicles, resulting in notable savings on fuel costs. Many rental companies sweeten the deal by offering discounted rates or incentives for selecting EVs, making them an economically savvy option. Furthermore, in Dallas, EV drivers can enjoy the perk of accessing carpool lanes, leading to smoother and more efficient commuting, particularly during busy peak hours. Emphasizing its commitment to electric mobility, the city has taken significant strides in expanding the EV charging infrastructure.
  • Dallas is centrally located in Texas, making it a perfect starting point for a variety of exciting day trips to explore the surrounding areas. Take a trip to Waco to visit attractions like Magnolia Market at the Silos, the Waco Mammoth National Monument, and the Cameron Park Zoo. Known as the "Rose Capital of America," Tyler offers stunning rose gardens at the Tyler Municipal Rose Garden, and outdoor activities at Tyler State Park. Explore Dinosaur Valley State Park, where you can see dinosaur tracks in the riverbed, or visit Fossil Rim Wildlife Center for a unique safari experience. Head to Austin, the capital of Texas, for its vibrant music scene, delicious food, and popular attractions like the Texas State Capitol and Barton Springs Pool.

Car rental FAQs

Find answers to frequently asked questions about car rentals in Dallas, including policies, requirements, and more. FAQs were last updated on Dezember 23, 2024.
  • What rules of the road must I abide by in Dallas?

    You should be aware of a number of important traffic laws before you hit the road with your cheap Dallas car rental. In Dallas, it is against the law to use a phone while driving. Drivers in Dallas are always required to follow the posted speed limits on designated roadways. When driving your rental automobile on highways without speed limit signs, it is advised that you adhere to the overall speed restrictions specified by the traffic authorities. On every unpaved road in Dallas, keep your speed to 30 mph or less. In school zones, the top speed restriction on all roads in Dallas is 20 mph. The main prerequisite is that all drivers of rental cars follow the 70 mph maximum speed limit on Dallas' rural interstate roads.

  • What benefits come with driving a rental car in Dallas?

    Booking affordable vehicle rentals is the most practical approach for visitors to conveniently see the various places that are located inside Dallas city. In contrast to using Dallas's public transit, which has predetermined routes and just a set timetable, renting a car gives you far more freedom to go anywhere you want. In Dallas, shuttles or buses that are primarily used for public transit frequently go along predetermined routes. The George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum, Reunion Tower, Dallas Arboretum & Botanical Gardens, and The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza are a few locations you might wish to visit with your affordable car rental in Dallas. Renting a car also offers the convenience of easy mobility because you always have accessibility to the car and may go wherever you want, whenever you want.

  • What forms of identification do you need to hire a car in Dallas?

    Before they're able to reserve their desired rental car in Dallas, renters must present the car rental businesses with a range of required paperwork. These include your official forms of identification, a valid driver's license with at least one year of driving experience, a hard copy of the confirmation voucher you received for the car booking from your suitable rental agency, as well as any additional documentation your specific Dallas rental car company may need. It's also necessary to have credit and debit cards with the necessary credit limit that are authorized in the name of the principal lessee of the car rental traveling from Dallas, USA. The credit card that's used to retain the security deposit for your rental automobile needs to have at least $200 on it. If you have a valid international driver's license, you can hire a car in Dallas even though you did not get your license there.

  • What is the best route to get from the center of Dallas to the heart of Fort Worth?

    A commonly used and efficient route is to merge onto Interstate 35E (I-35E) South, which is a major highway running through Dallas. Stay on I-35E South for approximately 30 miles. This highway will lead you directly toward Fort Worth. In downtown Fort Worth, take the exit to merge onto Interstate 30 (I-30) West. This highway will lead you into the heart of Fort Worth. Continue on I-30 West, and you will reach the heart of Fort Worth, where you can explore the Fort Worth Stockyards, Sundance Square, and other popular attractions.

  • Is it possible to rent a car at an airport location in Dallas?

    At the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), you'll find a convenient on-site rental car facility, making the process of picking up and returning your rental car hassle-free. If you're driving from the center of Dallas, locate the Rental Car Center near the airport's south entrance. For those arriving by flight, follow the Rental Car signs to the designated pick-up area on the lower level of the terminal. Once at the designated area, you'll find Rental Car shuttle buses available 24/7, departing every 10-15 minutes. Board the shuttle, and it will swiftly transport you to the Rental Car Center in approximately 10 minutes, ensuring a smooth and efficient start to your journey.

  • What are some of the precautions I should take when renting a car in the winter in Dallas?

    Before heading out, check the weather forecast for Dallas and the surrounding areas. Winter weather can be unpredictable, so be prepared for possible rain, ice, or even occasional snow. If possible, opt for a rental car with features suitable for winter driving, such as all-wheel drive (AWD) or four-wheel drive (4WD). These features provide better traction on slippery roads. Winter weather can slow down traffic due to icy or wet road conditions. Plan your trips with extra travel time to account for potential delays. Pack a winter emergency kit in the car, including items like an ice scraper, snowbrush, flashlight, blanket, first aid supplies, and non-perishable snacks. In case of skidding, remain calm, and steer in the direction you want to go. Avoid slamming on the brakes, as this can worsen the skid.
