San Antonio favorites
San Antonio can be enjoyed in so many different ways, so take care of the classic locations if it’s your first time.
The River Walk
It’s popular with tourists for a reason. This pedestrian path along the San Antonio River is packed with museums, shops, and great spots to eat, drink, and be merry. Start in the Pearl District for a less hectic experience.
Brackenridge Park
San Antonio’s largest green urban oasis offers walking trails, lawns for lounging, the San Antonio Zoo, a Japanese tea garden, a children's amusement park, and open-air theaters.
The Alamo
While a historical trip back in time to The Battle of the Alamo may seem hot and overwhelming, the nighttime ghost tour will give you a very different take on the national monument that’s been named a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Hit the road
Maybe you need to cool off from the desert heat, maybe you need more city life, or maybe you just want to get lost in nature. Grab your car in San Antonio, then leave the city center and parking lots behind and hop out to some of these excellent nearby locations.
Book the perfect carSan Marcos
A day at the San Marcos River inevitably means tubing. Yes, you can also kayak or swim, but the tube is king. Head northeast about an hour on Interstate 35 to get your splash on.
Houston
For all the cosmopolitan allure of big city life, make the three-hour drive east on I-10 to check out the Space Center Houston, where space shuttles still call in problems.
Big Bend National Park
It’s a hefty six-hour drive along the Rio Grande to get to this park, but the remote, mountainous wilderness along the border is stunning and magical.

Luis made picking up and dropping off the car a breeze. The car was clean and in great shape. Much easier and more affordable than dealing with a car rental agency. Highly recommend booking with Luis if you're visiting San Antonio.
Great service by Emmanuel, great vehicle, and great time getting around San Antonio.
By far one of the best deals on Turo. Car was excellent, great fuel mileage, great price, and up keep of the car was beyond what I expected. Hands down the nicest people to rent from as well. From start to finish, Joe was there to make sure my trip went smoothly. If I’m in San Antonio, this is the car and hospitality I’m after.
Easy pick up and drop off in San Antonio. Cleaning is included which was not in my previous Turo. Would absolutely rent again next time I am in San Antonio.
Yuliana’s Explorer worked great for our weekend family trip to San Antonio. Pickup and Drop-off of the vehicle at the airport was a total breeze! She was very responsive and easy to communicate with. Would 100% rent from again next time in San Antonio!
Beautiful car and very cheap to fill from empty! One of the best bang for buck rentals I've ever had with turo. Dadiri was extremely kind and easy to coordinate with. If you're in San Antonio, I can't recommend Dadiri and this CRV enough!
Great car, and great service. Will definitely recommend to family traveling to San Antonio.
Larry was great and very responsive. Nice car and smooth ride! If I am ever in San Antonio again I would definitely rent from him in the future

Responsive host. Excellent directions and instructions. The car is immaculate! You seriously get 40 miles to the gallon. This is the best car rental in San Antonio. I had to rent this car waiting for my Toyota Venza to get delivered from the dealership and kept having to extend the date. They were so helpful and worked with me. If this car is not available please look and see if Adam has any other vehicles available. You want to work and give business to great people like these. Thank you for making my first Turo experience a HUGE WIN!
