Top tips for renting a car in Amarillo


As the largest metro area in the Texas Panhandle region, the roads of Amarillo can become congested with both locals and visiting drivers. Plus, Amarillo marks the halfway point between a number of major locations, such as New Mexico, Colorado, Kansas and Oklahoma, adding to the potential road congestion. With these top driving tips in mind, you can navigate the roads of Amarillo with confidence.


What are the road rules and driving conditions in Amarillo?


While Amarillo might be only the 14th largest city in Texas, there are a number of congested roads drivers need to know about. The busiest intersection in Amarillo is Soncy and I-40 West, followed closely by Soncy and SW 34th. Plus, plenty of intersections are known for congestion, including 34th and Bell, 45th and Bell, and 45th and Western.


Weather conditions can be unpredictable in Amarillo, known for occasional tornados, snowstorms, and strong winds. Snow and ice can completely cover the roads, meaning it's important to slow down, leave plenty of room between yourself and other motorists, and use brakes slowly to reduce your chance of accidents. If possible, plan your drive in late summer or early fall for better weather conditions.


In Amarillo and the rest of Texas, it's illegal to text while driving, with some cities banning the use of mobile phones while driving altogether. Plus, make sure to never drink and drive, with .08 as the legal blood alcohol concentration in Texas.


Where can I park in Amarillo?


There are a number of places to park across Amarillo. You'll find timed, on-street parking across Amarillo Downtown along a paid parking garage at 600 S Buchanan, open to the public 24/7. If you're flying into Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport, there is a secure parking garage along with two surface lots for passengers.


Are there toll roads in Amarillo?


While there are no toll roads currently operating in Amarillo, there are over 50 toll roads throughout Texas. You'll likely encounter toll roads if you extend your trip to Dallas, Austin or Houston.


Where are there gas stations and EV chargers in Amarillo?


There are plenty of places to refuel in Amarillo. You'll find gas stations such as United Express and Sams Gas Club located on W Amarillo Blvd and Ross-Osage Street. If you're renting an electric car, you'll find Tesla Superchargers and Electrify America Charging Stations located on roads such as W Amarillo Blvd and Westgate Pkwy W.


Do I need to rent a car in Amarillo?


You absolutely should rent a car in Amarillo. Amarillo is best accessed behind the wheel of your own car as public transport is limited, and the best sights aren't within walking distance of each other. Plus, the iconic Route 66 driving road can only be enjoyed with your own rental car.

Yes, multiple guests can drive the car you rent on Turo, as long as they are all approved to drive.

We encourage you to request to add additional drivers before your trip starts, though guests can request to add a driver while a trip is in progress.

To speed up the process, have your additional driver create a Turo account and get approved to drive before you request to add them. All drivers must have a valid driver’s license and meet the age requirements for the car you’ve booked. You can request to add drivers via the “Trips” tab in the Turo app without additional driver charges or extra costs.
