Things to do and places to see in Arkansas
Arkansas is a Southern state that knows how to surprise. From architectural wonders tucked in forested hills to world-class American art museums and bubbling thermal springs, it’s a place where the natural and the cultural collide in all the best ways. Whether you’re on a quick road trip or a full-blown vacation, you’ll find no shortage of attractions worth the detour.
Rent the perfect car
Hot Springs National Park
Often called “The American Spa,” Hot Springs National Park is the oldest federal reserve and national park in the US — and still one of the most unique. The park combines natural beauty with historic bathhouses, hiking trails, and mountain views, all nestled within downtown Hot Springs. It's an easy drive from Little Rock and a perfect excuse to rent a car for a relaxing, scenic soak.
Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art
Tucked away in Bentonville but internationally renowned, Crystal Bridges is not your average small-town museum. Its stunning architecture, forested trails, and collection of American art spanning five centuries make it a must-visit. Add in free general admission and a Frank Lloyd Wright house on-site, and this road trip-worthy stop ticks every box for culture lovers and curious drivers alike.
Thorncrown Chapel
Set among the pines in Eureka Springs, Thorncrown Chapel is a jaw-dropping glass and wood structure that feels more like a portal than a building. Designed by E. Fay Jones, this award-winning architectural gem is the perfect place to pause, breathe, and reflect — or just take some seriously envy-inducing photos. Easily accessible by car, it’s one of Arkansas’s most peaceful (and photogenic) attractions.

Rental car pickup locations throughout Arkansas
Get your car delivered right to you or wherever you’re going in Arkansas. Many hosts offer delivery to custom locations or popular points of interest, like airports, train stations, and hotels. Popular Arkansas pickup locations include:
Little Rock
The capital city is one of the top places to rent a car in Arkansas — and for good reason. Arrange to collect your vehicle near downtown, the River Market, or even outside the Little Rock Zoo. With flexible pickup and drop off options available across the city, you’ll be cruising past murals and through the foothills in no time.
Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport (LIT)
Fly into Little Rock and pick up your rental car without the usual wait at the airport car rental counter. Turo offers a smoother experience, with the ability to collect your rental car directly from one of the airport's permitted parking areas (including the East Short Term Parking, Economy Lot, the Parking Deck, Long Term Parking, or West Short Term Parking).
Fayetteville and Northwest Arkansas
From Razorback games to scenic drives through the Boston Mountains, Fayetteville is a great jumping-off point. You can collect your car near the university, in downtown Springdale, or close to Bentonville — home of the Crystal Bridges Museum. It’s a convenient spot for weekend escapes or long-term rentals in the northwest corner of the state.

Top tips for renting a car in Arkansas
Renting a car in Arkansas is the easiest way to explore the state’s hidden gems and natural wonders — especially if you want to get beyond the major metro areas. Whether you’re touring the Ozarks, cruising to the rock zoo, or weaving through the Ouachitas, you’ll appreciate the freedom and flexibility that comes with your own set of wheels. From parking pointers to vehicle options, here’s everything you need to know for a smooth car rental experience in Arkansas.
What documents and paperwork do you need to rent a car in Arkansas?
To rent a car on Turo, you must create a Turo account, be 18 years old or older with a valid driver’s license, and get approved to drive on Turo. When you’re booking your first trip, you’ll go through an approval process by entering your driver’s license information by providing a photo of it and some other information. In most cases, you’ll get approved immediately, and you’ll be set for future road trips, business trips, and family vacations!
What are the road rules and driving conditions in Arkansas?
Driving in Arkansas is generally relaxed, but you’ll want to stay alert, especially when navigating winding roads through the hills and forests. Speed limits vary, with highways typically posted at 70 mph and urban areas closer to 30 mph. Arkansas enforces hands-free phone laws, so be sure to mount your phone or use voice commands for navigation. Seat belts are required for all front-seat passengers, and headlights must be turned on when using windshield wipers.
Arkansas does experience seasonal weather shifts, so be prepared for heavy rain in spring and potential icy patches in winter, especially in higher elevations. Most roads are well maintained, but rural routes can be narrow and prone to wildlife crossings, particularly in and around state parks.
Are there toll roads in Arkansas?
Nope, no tolls here! Arkansas is one of the few Southern states where the roads are entirely toll-free. You can cruise from Fort Smith to Little Rock without digging around for change or racking up surprise fees. Just one more reason to rent a car and explore stress-free.
Do I need to rent a car in Arkansas?
Unless you’re planning to stay put in downtown Little Rock and Uber everywhere (good luck with that), renting a car is highly recommended. Public transit options are limited, and many top attractions like Thorncrown Chapel or Hot Springs National Park are only accessible by car. With your own vehicle, you can travel on your own schedule, detour to scenic byways, and explore Arkansas at your own pace.
What occasions can I rent a car for in Arkansas?
Whether you’re here for a backroads adventure or a black-tie affair, there’s a rental car with your name on it. With plenty of car rental locations in Arkansas, it's easy to find a vehicle that suits your schedule, your trip (and your taste), no matter the occasion.
- Vacation car rental: From lazy lake days to full-throttle hikes, Arkansas is made for exploration. Rent a car to tour the state’s top attractions (think Hot Springs National Park, Thorncrown Chapel, or the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art) without relying on spotty public transport or long shuttle queues. Whether you’re traveling solo or packing the whole family, there’s a rental to match your style and your suitcase count.
- Long-term car rentals: Staying a little longer? Whether you’re posted up in Little Rock for work, laying low in Fayetteville, or making the move to Fort Smith, a long-term car rental in Arkansas gives you the freedom to settle in and get around, without the long-term commitment. Renting a car in Arkansas over several weeks (or more) means no rideshare roulette or bus-stop sprints. Just smooth, consistent travel on your own schedule.
- Car rental for weddings and formal events: Got a formal dress code on the horizon? Whether you’re a guest, a groomsman, or the one getting hitched, renting a car for a wedding or event lets you arrive in comfort — and maybe even a little bit of style. Picture a sleek luxury sedan pulling up to the chapel, or a roomy SUV whisking the bridal party off to the reception. Add a little polish to the big day (and a reliable ride home for the in-laws).
What rental car types can I find in Arkansas?
From fuel-efficient runarounds to head-turning sports cars and cushy luxury SUVs, there’s a rental vehicle type for every road and reason in Arkansas.
- Luxury SUVs: Think Cadillac Escalade or BMW X5 — ideal for road-tripping families or hauling outdoor gear.
- Prestige cars: For a plush driving experience, try a Mercedes-Benz E-Class or Audi A6.
- Sports cars: Make the most of Arkansas’s scenic drives in a Ford Mustang or Chevrolet Camaro.
- Eco-friendly options: Roll through town in a Toyota Prius or Hyundai Sonata Hybrid — low emissions, high vibes.
How much does it cost to rent a car in Arkansas?
The cost of car rental in Arkansas can vary depending on car type, booking length, extras, and delivery. For cheap car rental in Arkansas, look out for discounts on longer-duration bookings and early bookings.
How old do you need to be to rent a car in Arkansas?
You generally need to be 21 to rent from major chains in Arkansas. On Turo, the minimum age is 18, opening up the Ozarks to younger drivers.
