Houston - Road Trip Ideas
Some of the world’s best road trips start in Texas. When you grab the keys to your Houston car rental, the Lone Star state is at your mercy. And there’s plenty of scope to foray further afield, too. You could head off on a Houston to New Orleans drive, taking in Beaumont and Baton Rouge before you cruise into the Delta. Or, if that 5-hour ride is too smallfry, pack your backs for 9 hours and 600 miles of open highway on a Houston to Destin road trip, where all the pleasures of the panhandle await you. These are just two of the best road trips from Houston, when you pick up a rental with Expedia, you’re free to take on many, many more.
Houston to Austin
From Space City to the Live Music Capital of the World, a road trip from Houston to Austin is just as vibrant and varied as its origin and destination. You’ll chew up 162 miles of asphalt over 3 hours along one of the most famous US-290 drives. This stretching highway takes you through towns that are more Texan than a rattlesnake wearing a Stetson. Carmine, McDade, Ledbetter—the list goes on. For a trip that’s big on both ease and excitement, book a one-way car rental from Houston to Austin and fly the return leg in just 55 minutes.
Houston to Dallas
A Houston to Dallas road trip is a tour of the old Texan oil boom towns, where the black gold rush transformed desert land into settlements. Yes, there are plenty of amazing things to do between Houston and Dallas, too. Stop off for some old-time Southern hospitality in Corsicana and Fairfield, or for something a little different, pay a visit to Madisonville for the annual mushroom festival. The Houston to Dallas drive time is around 3 and a half hours, stretching 240 miles, mostly along the famous I-45. If all that highway is enough for you, book a one-way car rental from Houston to Dallas, drop your rental at the airport and fly back in just over an hour.
