KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Brownsville

  • Car rentals in Brownsville are a convenient way to explore the interesting attractions both in the city and the surrounding region, including the Palo Alto Battlefield National Historical Park. Having access to your own vehicle also makes it easy to travel to popular nearby cities, like Harlingen and Rio Bravo. Head to sights that are removed from the city center, such as the Boca Chica State Park, which is known for having great swimming opportunities and is around a 20min drive from the city’s downtown.
  • Those that are interested in Brownsville car rentals can pick them up directly from Brownsville South Padre Island International Airport. The airport’s car rental center can be conveniently found just near the Arrivals Terminal, after the baggage claim. It is within walking distance, so you don’t need to take a taxi or shuttle to arrive here. There are a few different on-site companies to choose between, and some options include Avis, Budget, and Enterprise.
  • Brownsville is known for having many small streets that are winding, particularly along the waterfront, which can be confusing to navigate if you’re not familiar with the region. To help prevent yourself from getting lost, you can add a GPS to car rentals in Brownsville. The city also has many cyclists, so keep your eyes open for them when driving to prevent getting in a collision.
  • Highways 4, 48, and 83 generally have a high amount of traffic during rush hour, as these are the main roads in and out of the city. If you want to avoid getting stuck in a traffic jam, it’s recommended to not drive on these highways between the hours of 8-9:30am and 5-6:30pm. Although the city’s climate is normally warm and temperature, it rains quite often, which generally makes the roads particularly slippery. If you find yourself driving in a storm, decrease your speed limit and drive with extra caution.
  • Small rental cars in Brownsville are around 31% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about renting a car in Brownsville

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Brownsville?

    An SUV is a convenient model to choose for a rental car in the region, as it will provide you with stability when driving in the rain. Since this type of vehicle is spacious, it’ll also provide you with extra comfort when embarking on longer road trips to some of the many state parks in the surrounding region. Recreational activities are common, including biking, hiking, swimming, and fishing, and an SUV will have enough room for you to store any necessary equipment.

  • What’s the speed limit in Brownsville?

    Residential and business streets will usually have a maximum speed limit of 30mph. If you’re driving near a school, you can plan on following a speed limit of 20mph instead. Streets that are in more remote areas of town may have limits up to 40mph, while highways usually have a limit of 65mph. The city has traffic cameras at many of its main intersections, so it’s important to follow speed limits to prevent receiving a ticket or fine.

Nothing online said they had vehicles available and even let me booked an suv for a week. At the time of “pick up” according to the desk guy they had no cars in inventory and said that he would call me that same afternoon and never received a call, txt, or email. Really bad experience and did really needed a vehicle for that whole week!
