Discount Car Rental in Houston

The fourth largest city in the United States, Houston is a massive urban centre, home to many of the country's biggest businesses and organisations. As a result of very relaxed zoning laws, the city covers a much larger area compared to cities with a similar population, and as a result everything is spread out with attractions far and wide.

By far the best way to get around with ease and see the sights is with a car hire, as the distances between places of interest are very rarely walkable. Auto Europe offers several car hire pick up locations in Houston, Texas, and a large fleet selection, so finding a car rental in Houston is both easy and economical.

Tour Houston with a Hire Car

To the outside world, everything in Houston appears to be extra large and extra whacky. Whether a plan to attract visitors, or simply the result of the eccentric locals, the unique attractions and way of life draw millions of guests from around the world each year. A great way to see the city and just how large it is, is to visit the Chase Tower, which is the tallest building in Houston, and the tallest 5 sided building in the world. Drive your hire car to the Tower, and enjoy the views from the observatory deck at the top.

A unique aspect of Houston is the downtown tunnel system which runs about 7 metres under the ground throughout the cbd. Park your hire car near the city centre, and explore the tunnels, which are for pedestrian use on weekdays, and link up to almost 100 city buildings. The benefit of the tunnels is reducing traffic on the surface, with the majority of the workforce commuting underground, where you can also find cafes and restaurants.

Houston has a vast array of popular attractions for visitors, and there are a few in particular which are not to be missed. The Space Center Houston is a museum dedicated to U.S space exploration. Here you will find many exhibits showing the history and developments in space travel, as well as actual launch vehicles and many artefacts from past trips into space. To see a little more of the city's quirky side, drive your rental car just a little south east from the centre and visit The Orange Show. Here you will find a range of displays and creations, all focusing on the creative and eccentric, including car converted into mobile works of art, and a house made of beer cans.
