Individuality and creativity pulses through the streets of Austin, a city known for its vibrant music scene, eclectic food culture, and relaxed yet edgy vibe. Whether you're here for its legendary BBQ, to catch a live band on Sixth Street, or explore the city's many outdoor spaces, Austin’s unique personality will capture your heart from the moment you arrive. Once you touch down at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, it is just a quick 15-minute drive into downtown where you'll find a dive deep into the city’s culture and diverse neighbourhoods is a blast. Austin is an eclectic mix of the new and the old, where old-school honky-tonk bars sit alongside sophisticated wine bars, and nature parks meet high-tech startups in Texas, a U.S State that is diverse, historic, oil-rich, cowboy-inspired, innovative, barbecue-renowned, scenic and welcoming.

While Austin’s downtown offers plenty of attractions within walking distance, having a car opens up the entire city – from the hip shops of South Congress Avenue to the peaceful trails along Lady Bird Lake. Picking up your hire car from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport means you’re only minutes away from the heart of this vibrant city. Not to mention, your hire car gives you the flexibility to take day trips into the Hill Country or head out to nearby cities like San Antonio, a vibrant city known for its iconic Alamo and scenic River Walk, and dynamic metropolis Houston, celebrated for its space exploration history,. Start by cruising down South Congress Avenue, where funky boutiques and retro shops line the street, and stop for a quick bite at one of Austin’s famous food trucks to enjoy mouth-watering tacos and a slab of brisket to decadent donuts and delicious pecan pie.

When the sun sets, Austin transforms into a neon-lit haven for live music lovers. Park your car, and take a walk down Sixth Street, where music pours out of every doorway, from country to blues, rock to indie. If you're lucky, you might even stumble upon a secret show or catch one of Austin’s legendary live performances – after all, this city has earned its title as the live music capital of the world. Whether you’re visiting iconic venues like Antone’s or Mohawk Austin or discovering hidden gems in the Rainey Street Historic District, a night out in Austin is always a rhythm-filled adventure. But there's more to Austin than just music and shopping. The city is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, and your hire car lets you get to the best spots. Head to Zilker Park, a green oasis right in the middle of downtown, perfect for a picnic or a paddle on Lady Bird Lake. With your car, you can easily reach the Barton Springs Pool, a natural spring-fed pool in the heart of the city that’s perfect for cooling off during the Texas heat. Just a short drive away, the Austin Nature and Science Center offers miles of hiking trails and plenty of opportunities for wildlife watching. For a dose of Austin’s quirky side, don’t miss the famous “Greetings from Austin” mural, or the Cathedral of Junk – a towering structure made entirely of discarded materials that’s a testament to the city’s individuality and creative spirit.
