Car Rental in Dallas

A relatively young city, the area in which Dallas lies was first settled in 1841, not long after the Republic of Texas separated from Mexico. It was only 4 years later that Texas was incorporated into the United States and the location named Dallas County. Due to the important role the city played in the oil and cotton industries, it has grown into one of the largest cities in the United States and has retained much of its early history. Auto Europe offers several car hire pick up locations in Dallas, Texas, and a large fleet selection, so finding a car rental in Dallas is both easy and economical.

Travelling in Dallas with a Car Rental

To get an insight into life in the early days of Dallas, drive your hire car over to Old City Park which is just near downtown. Here you will find areas of preserved and restored buildings from the late 1800s through to the early 1900s with a whole range of building and business types present. Among the main buildings are the historic Citizen's Bank, a Pottery, Doctors Office and a Blacksmith. Another area with well preserved buildings is Swiss Avenue. Drive your rental car along Swiss Avenue and view the homes of the wealthy who called the area home in the early 1900s.

While many people see Dallas as a city of cowboys without culture, these days this is definitely not the case. With many museums and art galleries throughout the city, the artistic culture is very well established, as are the entertainment and music industries. Notable places to see are the Dallas Museum of Art, which is home to over 20,000 artworks, and the Nasher Sculpture Centre, which is the largest of its kind in the world, dedicated to sculptures and statues from many famous artists.

If travelling with the whole family, be sure to visit the Dallas Zoo. Located close to the centre of Dallas, the zoo is easily accessible with a rental car, and is home to over 8000 animals. Another favourite with visitors is Billy Bob's Texas Honky Tonk, where you can enjoy your dinner while watching a live rodeo. Great fun for both young and old alike.
