So thankful for this last minute Turo! I had a cancellation the night before and was in full panic mode for my work trip ! The car was clean and finished changing the oil as I arrived! ( which ironically is why the other cancelled) ! I would def book with Leo again!
Mr. Sheldon was a fantastic host. We ran into some issues with the key that were beyond his control, but he was very prompt about making it right and it all ended up working out. The car itself was very clean and drove smoothly. It helped me when I was in a bind while my personal vehicle was being repaired so I am very grateful. If I ever need a rental again, I will definitely keep them in mind!

Get your vehicle delivered right to you or wherever you’re going in Killeen, TX, including Killeen, TX airport. Many hosts offer delivery to custom locations or popular points of interest, like airports, train stations, and hotels. Popular Killeen, TX pickup locations include:
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. 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 – message your Turo host on our 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 prior to visiting the Lone Star State, 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 have to obey the 'left lane for passing' rule, which mandates drivers only use the left-hand lane to overtake slow vehicles, and the 'right-on-red' rule, which permits a right-hand turn at a red stop light if it's safe to do so and you've come to a complete stop first. Lastly, in Texas it's illegal to text and drive, although you can use your phone on hands-free mode 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, beware of driving in extreme heat, as this can lead to tire blowouts or overheated engines. While snow is a rare sight in Killeen, black ice has been known to pop up when the temperature drops, so always exercise precaution during these conditions 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 Hood. 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! However, drivers traveling to or from town from neighboring cities like Austin may encounter toll roads. The closest tollways are in the Austin area, and they include State Highway 130 and Loop 1 (Mopac Expressway). If you plan on road-tripping through Texas, always check whether you'll encounter toll roads before you set off on your journey.
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 like Chevron, Mobil, and Exxon dotted throughout downtown and the surrounding suburbs. You'll find handy gas stations along streets like Young Drive, Clear Creek Road, Stan Schlueter Loop, Watercrest Road, and Fort Hood Street, to name a few.
While the Lone Star State has a huge network of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in big cities like Austin and Houston, Killeen isn't as well equipped, with roughly 20 chargers available in town. Don't fret, though – they're easily accessible, with many conveniently located in the downtown area. Most are scattered along Interstate 14 and its side road, the Central Texas Expressway, so here's your best bet to find chargers from reliable brands, including 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. While the city is growing, with over 150,000 residents as of 2024, Killeen's public transit options leave something to be desired. 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.
