Rent a luxury car and explore Austin, TX

Things to do and places to see in Austin, TX

While Austin is often dwarfed by Dallas and Houston, the city still has its own magnetic charm, and there are still plenty of things to do for those with discerning tastes. If you're in town for Formula One or a music festival, you'll find plenty of time to indulge in one of the fine dining restaurants in downtown Austin or two-step to honky tonk music at the legendary Broken Spoke. Here are ways you can enjoy Austin and see how the locals like to "keep Austin weird."

Rent the perfect car
Austin, TX

Lady Bird Lake and Downtown Austin

Begin your Austin journey downtown with a stroll around Lady Bird Lake and watch how the water reflects the city's skyline. For especially clear water reflection photos, start your walk in the early morning. Pause for lunch on Congress Avenue, 2nd street, or 6th street, where you can find chic rooftop bistros or laid-back Tex-Mex gems. In the afternoon, explore the eclectic vibes of South Congress Avenue, where you'll be tempted with quirky souvenirs, cowboy boots, and artisan jewelry. At sunset, join the crowds hanging around the Congress Bridge to witness the dramatic flight of thousands of bats as they emerge for their nighttime feeding. It's a picture-worthy moment. Finally, cap off the day with live music at Antone's, The Continental Club, or The Elephant Room.

The Domain

For a different Austin experience, head to the Domain, an open-air shopping and restaurant district. It's another great place to spend most of your day. Start with lunch at one of the many casual eateries, then browse the rows of boutique and major-brand stores. To satisfy your sweet tooth, treat yourself to gelato from Frost Gelato, sweet Nutella-filled crepes from Sweet Paris Creperie & Cafe, or Parisian-styled pastries from Bakery Lorraine. After an afternoon of shopping, unwind by listening to live music at The Water Trough or out on the Lawn.

Wine Tasting in the Hill Country

If you're looking for a scenic escape, take a 2-hour trip northwest to Fredericksburg, where you can spend the day (or weekend) discovering the best in Texas wine. The vineyards start along the 290 West and continue for about 30 miles into Fredericksburg. Sample red and white wines at wineries like Calais Winery, where you can sample Bordeaux-style red wines, Ab Astris, where you can try their single-AVA wines, and William Chris Vineyards, where you can taste their award-winning wine, Enchante. After a day of tastings, head to the charming town of Fredericksburg for dinner, a town founded by Germans in 1846. There, you can savor German cuisine at Otto's German Bistro and then wind down for the night at the boutique Albert Hotel.

Weddings/Special Event luxury car rental 

Renting a luxury car for a special event is perfect if you want to complete the mood with a stylish and exclusive car. An exotic car can add a touch of glamor and complete a look, especially if you're planning a photo shoot, where your vehicle can become part of the story. Just remember to always use valet parking. This not only ensures your car is handled carefully, but you'll avoid dents and scratches by trying to cram it into tight spaces or sharing crowded lots with pickup trucks and SUVs.

Weekend Getaway/Bachelor or Bachelorette luxury car rental

For an indulgent weekend getaway in wine country, rent a luxury sedan and plan a group wine tasting in Fredericksburg. You'll get to sip, shop, and dine in style. You can also pick up some unique souvenirs while you're there. Leave on Friday evening and return Sunday night to get a full experience.

Anniversary/Romantic Date luxury car rental

Elevate your romantic night out with a luxurious rental car. A practical car is fine, but to truly make a statement, arrive, park, and leave in style. After dinner, extend the night by cruising the streets late at night when there's less traffic and the streets are relatively empty.

Purple squiggle

Austin–Bergstrom International Airport (AUS)

Austin is a relatively compact city, which makes traveling from the airport to downtown Austin a stress-free ride. In fact, the airport is just 7.5 miles away. Once you land, skip the airport car rental counter and pull up your Turo app. After locating your Austin airport luxury car rental, head to the parking garage. To reach downtown Austin, take highway 183 N. When there's little to no traffic, you can be in the heart of the city in 20 minutes.

Downtown Austin

Exploring downtown Austin can take an entire day, so it's well worth it to designate a pickup spot in downtown Austin. For affordable options, choose the parking garage at the Capitol. If you'd like to be where most of the action is and within walking distance of Lady Bird Lake, there are parking garages right off of Cesar Chavez Avenue or even at the Long Center. It's perfectly fine to leave your car there for the day while you explore the Capitol Building, Blanton Museum of Art, restaurants, and shops along Congress Avenue. In the evening, catch a show at the Long Center or head to The Continental Club.

The Domain 

For many, one of the best pickup spots in Austin is actually at the Domain. The open-air shopping and restaurant district offers an abundance of free parking spaces in their color-coded garages. Just be specific to designate the name of the garage (the pink, purple, or red one for example) to help you find your car rental, as the Domain is large and the garages are spread out across the area. This convenient spot allows you to explore the Domain, do some shopping, and listen to live music without worrying about parking meters or parking fees.

Top tips for renting a luxury car in Austin


If you're renting a high-performance luxury car in Austin, you're probably not interested in just getting from point A to point B. You want to savor every moment behind the wheel. Make sure you know how to handle the car's power, though. Some of the luxury cars, like Lamborghinis, sit low on the ground, so take extra care when driving over speed bumps. Luxury sports cars also have stronger accelerations than standard vehicles, so remember to go easy on the throttle. Here are some additional tips to think about.


What is parking a luxury car like in Austin?


Protecting your luxury car rental should be high priority, especially in busy areas. To avoid squeezing into tight or awkward spaces that can result in dings or scratches, choose valet parking. It's worth paying a little extra to ensure your vehicle is handled well. On the same note, prioritize gated parking and secure parking lots that have cameras or attendants. If you're leaving your car somewhere overnight, steer clear of busy areas like downtown 6th street. Besides theft, rowdy crowds can easily scratch your car just by bumping into it.


How to choose the perfect luxury car for your Austin trip


The right luxury car depends on what you plan to do. If you want to combine luxury with family and friends, consider renting a luxury SUV. This combination of comfort and space is ideal for activities like group wine tours. On the other hand, if it's just you and your partner and you want a head-turning experience, opt for a Porsche, Ferrari, or Lamborghini. In town for a high-brow business event? A BMW 7 Series, Audi A8, or Mercedes S-Class offers refined elegance and sophistication.


Great driving roads around Austin


If you're itching to take your exotic or luxury rental car out for a spin, head for Hill Country in the early morning. The 290, especially, is a driver's dream with its long stretch of relatively empty roads. Loop 360 or the Capital of Texas Highway is fun for any sports car, with its rolling hills and sweeping curves. Just remember to keep an eye out for cyclists and motorcyclists.

Can other people drive the car that I rented?

Yes, multiple guests can drive the car you rent on Turo, as long as they are all approved to drive. The primary driver (whoever rented the car) can add additional drivers with no fees or additional charges. Only the primary driver can request to add drivers; Turo hosts cannot do it for you. 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.

How much does it cost to rent a luxury car in Austin? 

The cost of luxury car rental in Austin can vary depending on car type, booking length, extras, and delivery. For cheap luxury car rentals in Austin, look out for discounts on longer-duration bookings and early bookings.

What luxury rental car types are there in Austin?

The type of luxury rental car you're looking to rent will, of course, depend on your needs. If you're in town for business, a BMW M3 can be the perfect companion. Want to turn heads? Turo has sports cars, like the BMW i8 or the Porsche 911. And if you're fascinated with the latest innovation or dying to get your hands on a Cybertruck, there are plenty of Tesla Cybertrucks available.
