Top tips for renting a car in New Braunfels


Plan ahead and book your rental early if your trip overlaps with festival weekends or tubing season. And while most of the roads in New Braunfels are relaxed, take care - some roads are tight, and signage can be scarce off the beaten path.


What are the road rules and driving conditions in New Braunfels?


You'll find a little bit of everything behind the wheel in New Braunfels - a relaxed city pace, winding hills, and the occasional congestion during special events. Residential roads post 25 mph, and I-35 leaps up to 70 mph outside of peak traffic hours. Country roads curve sharply and may have shoulders, so stay alert.


What is parking like in New Braunfels?


Most areas in New Braunfels have free or low-cost parking, but spaces disappear fast during festivals and other special events. If you're visiting during a high-traffic weekend, plan ahead and expect to arrive early or walk a few blocks.


Are there toll roads in New Braunfels?


You won't come across a toll road in town, but you may see them on the way to Austin or to other northern destinations. Stick to I-35 to avoid them, even if it takes you longer.


Are there gas stations and EV chargers in New Braunfels?


It's not hard to find a gas station in New Braunfels, especially around retail zones and the interstate. EV drivers can find Level 2 chargers around shopping centers, hotels, and some parts of downtown, but the network is still growing.


Do I need to rent a car in New Braunfels?


If you're hoping to bounce between different neighborhoods, historic sites, or Hill Country drives, then a rental car is the way to go. Much of what makes New Braunfels fun is spread out across town or tucked into the backroads.
