Top tips for renting a car in Lubbock


Want to navigate the city like a local and enjoy your journey through the heart of Texas? Make the most of your Lubbock car rental experience with these tips.


What are the road rules and driving conditions in Lubbock?


Speed limits in Lubbock range from 30 miles per hour (mph) in residential areas and city streets to 75 mph on highways outside city limits. With this in mind, always pay attention to speed limit signs, especially near schools and attractions like Mae Simmons Park and Joyland Amusement Park.


Driving in Lubbock is generally straightforward, with wide roads and minimal traffic congestion. Key roads that lead in and out of the city include the Marsha Sharp Freeway (US 62/82), Interstate 27 (I-27), and Loop 289, which encircles the city for easy navigation.


If you're traveling from overseas, keep in mind that Texas law requires all drivers to carry a valid driver's license.


Where can I park in Lubbock?


Parking in Lubbock is convenient and affordable, with plenty of parking garages, street parking spots, and public lots. Just make sure to always check for parking signs to avoid fines, and be mindful of any time restrictions in certain areas.


- Downtown Lubbock has street parking and public lots, with many areas like Walgreens on 602 Avenue Q and Home Depot on 2615 50th Street providing free parking for a limited time.

- If you're visiting attractions, those like the Buddy Holly Center and the American Windmill Museum have dedicated parking facilities.

- Many shopping centers like West End Center and Central Park typically offer ample parking for customers.


Are there toll roads in Lubbock?


In Lubbock, you can explore the city, embark on road trips, and enjoy the open roads as you travel across West Texas without worrying about extra toll fees as there are no toll roads.


You'll only need to keep an eye out for toll roads if you plan on making your way towards El Paso or Dallas.


Where are there gas stations and EV chargers in Lubbock?


Don't wait til your rental car is running on fumes. Finding places to fuel up is easy.


- Gas stations are plentiful along main roads like 19th Street, 34th Street, and even near Martin Luther King Blvd.

- EV charging stations for electric cars are available at several locations along Loop 289, the Marsha Sharp Freeway, and hotels like the Courtyard by Marriott. Use apps like PlugShare or ChargePoint to find exact locations and availability.

Regardless of what car you rent, make sure to plan your fuel stops ahead of time, especially if you're taking a road trip to more remote areas.


Do I need to rent a car in Lubbock?


Renting a car is the most efficient way to explore the city and its surroundings, even if Lubbock does have public transportation options. With rental cars, you can visit landmarks like the Buddy Holly Statue and the National Ranching Heritage Center at your leisure and take scenic drives along the Marsha Sharp Freeway or venture to nearby attractions.


Having a car ensures you don't miss out on the full Lubbock experience and the freedom to travel on your own schedule without relying on taxis or buses.

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.

* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. Liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.

For questions or information about the third party liability insurance that is included in protection plans, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site.

When a trip is booked in the state of Washington, physical damage to the host’s vehicle is covered by insurance purchased by Turo, but Turo’s insurance does not change the contractual responsibilities of hosts or guests with respect to physical damage to a host’s vehicle.
