Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Austin?
Within the past seven days, the lowest daily price found for an affordable car rental in Austin was $38.
Can I rent a car from Austin-Bergstrom Intl. Airport (AUS)?
Absolutely. Once you get to Austin-Bergstrom Intl. Airport (AUS), you'll find the rental companies opposite the ground floor of the terminal. Book a ride that's right for you with E-Z, Payless or Avis. Advantage and Dollar are also worth taking a look at.
What happens if I need to cancel my Austin car reservation?
Canceling a prepaid rental with at least six hours notice should allow for a full refund. But this is not always a given. It's good to check your itinerary and cancellation policy. Still can't find the answer? Head over to our Customer Service Portal.
Where can I go on a road trip from Austin?
There are so many things to do in Austin, but venture farther afield and you'll find more sightseeing magic. Organize a set of wheels and you can explore the surrounding area at your own pace. Add these awesome places to your list:

  • Make tracks to College Station for a fantastic sightseeing experience. Around 90 miles from Austin, it's home to numerous great sights like Kyle Field.
  • Situated 75 miles away, San Antonio is also a hit with travelers. Make sure you take in River Walk while you're in town. It's one of the reasons people love visiting this colorful city.
  • Moody Gardens is situated 190 miles from Austin and is one of the region's most gorgeous nature spots. Go for a walk around and enjoy the fresh air here.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Austin with Expedia?
It's easy to find the best deal with Expedia. Simply choose your ride, select your dates and pickup and drop-off locations, and browse offers from big-name rental suppliers. Save even more when you combine your Austin car rental with flight or hotel bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Austin?
Austin requires drivers to be at least 21 to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect a surcharge and some choice restrictions. Many companies impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the usual car rental rate. This covers the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like compact and economy) are available to young motorists, restrictions usually apply to specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Austin?
Before you can hop behind the wheel in Austin, you'll need a driver's license and a credit card in the same name. If you prefer not to take out the rental company's insurance policy, you may also have to show proof of alternative coverage. Requirements may vary, so read the contract terms and conditions before you choose a rental provider.
What is the cheapest car rental in Austin?
Based on prices within the past seven days, you could've taken the wheel of a rental car for just $38 per day. The second lowest daily rate offered in Austin was $39. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Austin?
Head over to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and then book your perfect ride. Whether you're staying in Austin or discovering beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at a fantastic rate.
Where can I find an Austin car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver looking for a car rental in Austin, it'd be wise to check the policies of the various rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be extra costs if you're between 21 and 24 years of age. To escape any nasty surprises at the rental desk, make sure you know what those charges are if they apply to you.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Austin?
A comprehensive insurance plan is a good choice for your upcoming Austin adventure. That's why we suggest adding collision protection while organizing your car rental with Expedia. This covers your vehicle from theft, accident damage and vandalism. Some destinations may need you to have a minimum level of liability insurance. It's possible that this is included in your rental cost or your own auto insurance, so check what you're covered for.
