Killeen-Fort Hood Regional Airport

Servicing flights to and from Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth, Killeen-Fort Hood Regional Airport is a small transit hub roughly 15-20 minutes by car from downtown Killeen. If you're arriving in town via Killeen Airport, skip the airport car rental counter and head straight to the pick-up point for your waiting rental vehicle when you rent on Turo. Check the Turo app to confirm where you'll be picking up your rental car near Killeen Airport, such as a secure parking garage or a landmark like a mall or hotel.

Austin-Bergstrom International Airport

Because Killeen-Fort Hood Regional Airport is so small, most visitors to the area – especially international and cross-country travelers – will arrive via Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, located about an hour and a half away. There's nothing worse than standing in long lines once you've disembarked a tiring international flight. Instead, book on Turo and check the app to confirm exactly where to pick up your rental car near the airport.

Downtown Killeen, TX

There are a number of bus and train routes that swing straight past Killeen. If you're arriving in town this way, it may be more convenient to collect your new rental car from the city center or a nearby community like Harker Heights. Thankfully, doing just that is easy when you book with Turo. Browse pick-up locations, including local landmarks, hotels, and public transit hubs such as train and bus stations. If you'd prefer your rental car be delivered directly to your door, that may be an option, too – just message through the Turo app to see what's possible.

Top tips for renting a car in Killeen


Easy to navigate, with wide roads and minimal traffic, driving in Killeen should be a breeze – but it's still important to know what you're in for before you hit the open roads! Discover our must-know tips for making your way around Killeen, including little-known road rules and advice for parking in the area.


What are the road rules and driving conditions in Killeen?


When driving in Killeen, standard Texas road rules apply, including driving on the right-hand side of the road, wearing a seatbelt at all times, obeying road signage, and adhering to local speed limits. Speed limits usually start at 30 miles per hour (mph) in residential areas and climb to 40 to 45 mph on city streets and 55 to 75 mph on highways and interstates.

Texas has a handful of unique road rules that you might not have encountered before, starting with the Move Over or Slow Down law, which requires drivers to change lanes or reduce their speed when they encounter an emergency vehicle or tow truck pulled over on the roadside. You'll also follow the 'left lane for passing' rule, which asks drivers to use the left-hand lane only to overtake slower vehicles, and the 'right-on-red' rule, which permits a right-hand turn at a red light once you've come to a complete stop and it's safe to do so. Lastly, in Texas it's illegal to text and drive, although you can use your phone hands-free without any issues.

Although Texan weather is generally hot and muggy, it's unpredictable year-round, with the occasional sudden cold snap or heat wave. During the summer months, take care in extreme heat, which can strain tires and engines. While snow is a rare sight in Killeen, black ice can appear when the temperature drops, so always exercise caution and only drive if it's safe to do so.


What is parking like in Killeen?


Killeen is an extremely driver-friendly city, and that extends to the parking options on offer. Most parking spots in the city are free, including street parking and secure spots at local malls, restaurants, and tourist attractions like Lions Club Park and Fort Cavazos. Occasionally, street parking spots have time limits, however these tend to ease off after business hours and on weekends. If you're staying outside of the town center, you'll find parking in residential areas is generally unrestricted, too.


Are there toll roads in Killeen?


No, there are no toll roads in Killeen itself – all major roads, including Interstate 14 (US Highway 190), are totally toll-free. If you plan on road-tripping toward larger cities elsewhere in Texas, you may encounter toll roads along the way, so it's worth checking your route before you set off.


Are there gas stations and EV chargers in Killeen?


Whether you plan on tackling the wide-open Texan highways on a road trip or simply cruising around the Killeen area, make a mental note of the best places to fuel or charge up your vehicle to avoid getting caught out. Texas is a big state with lots of rural pockets, so it pays to be prepared!

In Killeen, gas stations are abundant, with many options from major providers dotted throughout downtown and the surrounding suburbs. You'll find handy gas stations along streets like Young Drive, Clear Creek Road, Stan Schlueter Loop, and Fort Hood Street, to name a few.

While the Lone Star State has a huge network of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in its big cities, Killeen is served by roughly 20 chargers in town. They're easy to reach, with many conveniently located in the downtown area and along Interstate 14, so you can top up from reliable brands like ChargePoint and Blink.


Do I need to rent a car in Killeen?


It's an absolute must to rent a car for your visit to Killeen, especially if you're interested in exploring other parts of Central Texas at your leisure. Killeen is a growing city of more than 150,000 people, but public transit options remain limited, making a rental car worthwhile for getting around. If you're traveling with your family or have time-sensitive commitments to honor, the flexibility and ease of a rental vehicle from Turo are unbeatable.
